Last updated: April 2026 dataSpanning a broad range of acetate esters not covered by more specific headings, this group includes fragrance-critical compounds such as benzyl acetate and linalyl acetate, industrial solvents like isobutyl acetate and 2-ethoxyethyl acetate, and polyhydric alcohol acetates used in plasticizers and coatings. India and China are the leading US import sources, with Germany also a significant supplier, reflecting both the fine-chemical and bulk-chemical manufacturing bases of those countries. The heading's twelve 10-digit lines — from aromatic odoriferous compounds (2915392000) to the residual catch-all (2915399500) — require careful invoice-level specification to avoid misclassification between aromatic and non-aromatic subheadings.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The aromatic/non-aromatic distinction follows standard chemical nomenclature: a compound is aromatic if it contains a benzene ring or equivalent aromatic nucleus as part of its structure. CBP applies this definition strictly, so importers should provide structural formulas or CAS numbers on entry documentation to support the claimed subheading.
Pure linalyl acetate is specifically enumerated at 2916394000 (within this heading). When imported as a component of a prepared fragrance mixture, the blend may instead fall under Chapter 33 (perfumery preparations), so the concentration and commercial presentation of the product are decisive classification factors. Consulting a licensed customs broker is advisable for mixed-composition shipments.
