Last updated: April 2026 dataA widely used industrial solvent classified under a single 10-digit line (2915330000), n-butyl acetate is a primary input for coatings, adhesives, and nail-care formulations, where its moderate evaporation rate and solvency power are commercially valued. South Korea leads US import supply, followed by Germany and Taiwan, reflecting the concentration of petrochemical solvent production in those markets. Importers should note that Chinese-origin product in adjacent solvent categories has faced Section 301 exposure, making origin documentation a routine compliance checkpoint for this heading.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
N-butyl acetate (normal butyl acetate) is specifically classified under 2915330000, while isobutyl acetate falls under a separate line within heading 2915.39. The structural isomer distinction must be documented on the commercial invoice to ensure correct classification and avoid reclassification at entry.
N-butyl acetate itself has not been a primary target of antidumping orders in the US, but importers sourcing from certain origins should verify current Section 301 list applicability and confirm country-of-origin documentation, as solvent classifications can be subject to scrutiny during CBP review.
