Last updated: April 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.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. EPA has issued Significant New Use Rules (SNURs) covering certain nonylphenol and nonylphenol ethoxylate uses under TSCA. Importers should confirm that intended end uses comply with current EPA SNUR requirements before placing orders.
All isomers of octylphenol and nonylphenol, along with their salts, are consolidated under 2907130000. While classification is straightforward, commercial documentation should still identify the specific isomer and purity grade to satisfy buyer specifications and any downstream regulatory reporting obligations.
