U.S. imports of ether-phenols and their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated & nitrosated derivatives (HS 290950) totaled $3.2M in April 2026, traded with 16 countries.
Importers of Ether-Phenols and Their Halogenated, Sulfonated, Nitrated & Nitrosated Derivatives paid $141K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 6.2% on $2.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataEugenol and isoeugenol (2909504010) — natural phenolic ethers extracted primarily from clove oil — are key fragrance and flavor ingredients, with Indonesia a leading global clove producer and a top US supplier under this heading alongside India and France. Guaiacol and its derivatives (2909502000) serve as pharmaceutical intermediates and smoke-flavor compounds, while the broader odoriferous and flavoring compound lines (2909504050) capture a wide range of aromatic ether-phenols used by the flavor and fragrance industry. FDA oversight applies to compounds used as food additives or flavor substances, and importers should confirm GRAS status or food additive petition coverage for any ether-phenol intended for food or beverage use.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Eugenol used as a food flavoring must be GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) or covered by an FDA food additive regulation. Importers should verify the specific intended use and concentration against FDA's GRAS database and flavor ingredient listings. FDA may detain shipments if the product is not properly labeled or if the intended use lacks regulatory coverage.
Guaiacol (2-methoxyphenol) and its derivatives are specifically enumerated under 2909502000, while eugenol and isoeugenol have their own dedicated line at 2909504010. Other odoriferous or flavoring ether-phenols not individually named fall to the residual line 2909504050. The classification priority follows the specificity principle: named compounds take precedence over the catch-all provision.
