U.S. imports of halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated & nitrosated derivatives of phenols (HS 290899) totaled $775K in April 2026, traded with 7 countries.
Importers of Halogenated, Sulfonated, Nitrated & Nitrosated Derivatives of Phenols paid $253K in duties in April 2026 โ an effective duty rate of 35% on $729K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Halogenated, Sulfonated, Nitrated & Nitrosated Derivatives of Phenols imports of $775K in April 2026 ran 42% above the year-to-date monthly average of $547K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataIndia leads US imports under this heading, followed by China and Japan, reflecting the concentration of fine-chemical and dye-intermediate manufacturing in Asia. The heading spans a wide range of functionalized phenol derivatives โ from sulfonated naphthalenols used in dye synthesis to nitrophenols serving as agrochemical intermediates โ each classified at the 10-digit level by functional group and whether the substance appears on the US Note 3, Section VI pharmaceutical/chemical list. Several lines, including 2908990300 (2,5-dihydroxybenzenesulfonic acid) and 2908992000 (p-nitrophenol), are individually enumerated, while residual compounds fall under catch-all provisions such as 2908999000 and 2908999502. Importers should verify whether specific derivatives are subject to Section 301 tariffs, which apply broadly to Chinese-origin chemical intermediates.

Classification hinges on the specific functional group(s) present and whether the compound is individually enumerated in the US tariff schedule. Named compounds like 4-hydroxy-1-naphthalenesulfonic acid (2908990600) and p-nitrophenol (2908992000) take priority; substances not specifically listed fall to residual lines such as 2908999000 or 2908999502. Consult a licensed customs broker or CBP binding ruling for novel or multi-substituted derivatives.
Many chemical intermediates originating in China are subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should check the current Section 301 product list and any applicable exclusions against the specific 10-digit HTS code before entry, as coverage and exclusion status can change.
