U.S. imports of monoalkyl ethers of mono- or di-ethylene glycols (excluding monobutyl) (HS 290944) totaled $282K in April 2026, traded with 9 countries.
Importers of Monoalkyl Ethers of Mono- or Di-Ethylene Glycols (Excluding Monobutyl) paid $52K in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 18% on $282K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Monoalkyl Ethers of Mono- or Di-Ethylene Glycols (Excluding Monobutyl) imports of $282K in April 2026 ran 17% below the year-to-date monthly average of $340K.
Last updated: April 2026 dataMonomethyl ethers of ethylene and diethylene glycol (2909440110) are important solvents in semiconductor photoresist formulations and specialty coatings, making this heading particularly relevant to electronics supply chains. The residual line (2909440150) captures other monoalkyl variants used across industrial cleaning, ink, and pharmaceutical solvent applications. France and South Korea are the leading US suppliers, with Taiwan and Japan also significant sources. Importers should note that certain glycol ethers, including methyl cellosolve, carry reproductive toxicity classifications under GHS, which may trigger additional labeling and SDS requirements.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Monomethyl ethers of ethylene glycol (methyl cellosolve) and diethylene glycol are used as solvents in photoresist and coating applications for semiconductor fabrication. However, several of these compounds carry reproductive and developmental toxicity classifications, prompting many manufacturers to substitute them with less hazardous alternatives. Importers supplying electronics customers should confirm whether the specific compound meets the buyer's restricted substances list requirements.
Line 2909440110 covers specifically monomethyl ethers of mono- or di-ethylene glycols, while 2909440150 is the residual provision for all other monoalkyl ethers of mono- or di-ethylene glycols not elsewhere specified. Classification turns on whether the alkyl group is methyl; any other alkyl group (ethyl, propyl, etc., excluding butyl which has its own heading) falls to the NESOI line.
