U.S. imports of nitrile-function compounds (nesoi) (HS 292690) totaled $14.6M in April 2026, traded with 19 countries.
Importers of Nitrile-Function Compounds (NESOI) paid $1.6M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $10.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Nitrile-Function Compounds (NESOI) imports of $14.6M in April 2026 ran 32% below the year-to-date monthly average of $21.4M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataBenzonitrile, dichlorobenzonitriles, malononitrile, and a range of aromatic and non-aromatic nitrile-function compounds not elsewhere specified are captured across fifteen 10-digit tariff lines in this residual heading, reflecting the chemical diversity of the group. Several lines are carved out specifically for pesticide end-uses — fungicides (2926902100), herbicides (2926902500), and other pesticides (2926903000) — which triggers EPA FIFRA admissibility review for those streams. China and India are the leading suppliers, with Japan, the United Kingdom, and Germany also significant. Aromatic compounds produced by US manufacturers may be subject to domestic-industry note provisions affecting classification.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Nitrile compounds entering as fungicide, herbicide, or pesticide active ingredients under lines such as 2926902100 or 2926902500 must comply with FIFRA Section 17 import requirements. CBP may detain shipments pending EPA admissibility review if the substance is not registered or lacks an appropriate exemption, and a Notice of Arrival may be required.
The US schedule isolates 2,6-dichlorobenzonitrile — the active ingredient in the herbicide dichlobenil — in its own line (2926901100) due to its distinct commercial significance, while all other positional isomers of dichlorobenzonitrile fall under the residual line 2926901200. Importers should confirm the exact isomer identity in the supplier's certificate of analysis before filing entry.
