Last updated: August 2026 dataOctylphenol and nonylphenol — alkylphenols used as surfactant precursors, emulsifiers, and chemical intermediates — face increasing regulatory scrutiny in the US and EU due to their endocrine-disrupting potential, which affects both import admissibility and downstream formulation decisions. Taiwan and China together account for the dominant share of US import volume under this heading, with Mexico and Canada also contributing. All isomers and salts enter under 2907130000, and goods of Chinese origin are subject to Section 301 tariffs. Buyers sourcing nonylphenol ethoxylate feedstocks should verify that supplier specifications align with applicable EPA Significant New Use Rule (SNUR) requirements.
