Last updated: August 2026 dataCyclohexane is a saturated cycloaliphatic solvent and chemical intermediate whose dominant end use is as a feedstock for adipic acid and caprolactam — the building blocks of nylon-6 and nylon-6,6 fibers and resins. Classified under the single 10-digit line 2902110000, it is traded in bulk liquid form and is subject to standard industrial chemical handling requirements at US ports. South Korea and China are the leading US import sources, with Spain, France, and Israel also supplying the market. Importers should note that South Korean-origin cyclohexane may benefit from duty treatment under the KORUS free trade agreement.

Industrial-grade cyclohexane for nylon production typically requires a purity of 99.5% or higher, with tight controls on benzene content due to occupational exposure regulations. Importers should request a certificate of analysis confirming purity, benzene residual levels, and water content, as off-spec material may be rejected by downstream nylon producers or trigger EPA hazardous-substance reporting obligations.
Cyclohexane from China may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. South Korea, as a KORUS FTA partner, is generally not subject to those measures. Importers sourcing from China should verify the current Section 301 list applicability and any active exclusions with a licensed customs broker before entry.
