U.S. exports of Furfuryl Alcohol and Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol (HS 293213) totaled $330K in August 2026.
Importers of Furfuryl Alcohol and Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol paid $25K in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 12.81% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule. Furfuryl Alcohol and Tetrahydrofurfuryl Alcohol imports of $194K in August 2026 ran 77% below the year-to-date monthly average of $826K.
Last updated: August 2026 dataFurfuryl alcohol — produced by catalytic hydrogenation of furfural — is a critical binder in foundry sand resins and a key intermediate for furan resins used in corrosion-resistant industrial linings. Belgium and South Africa lead US imports under this single-line heading (2932130000), with India, Germany, and China also among the top suppliers. The foundry and composites industries are the primary end-use sectors, and supply chain planners should note that furfuryl alcohol availability is directly upstream-linked to furfural production capacity.

Both compounds are classified together under HTS 2932130000, but they differ structurally: furfuryl alcohol retains the aromatic furan ring, while tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol has a fully saturated tetrahydrofuran ring. In practice, furfuryl alcohol dominates foundry resin applications, whereas tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol is used more as a green solvent and in specialty coatings. Importers should confirm which compound is being shipped, as the two have different CAS numbers and safety profiles.
Furfuryl alcohol is produced almost exclusively by hydrogenation of furfural, so any disruption to furfural supply — whether from sugarcane harvest shortfalls, mill outages, or export restrictions in producing countries — flows directly into furfuryl alcohol availability and pricing. Buyers with significant foundry resin exposure should monitor furfural market conditions as a leading indicator.
