U.S. exports of prepared additives for cements, mortars, and concretes (HS 382440) totaled $12.2M in July 2026.
Importers of Prepared Additives for Cements, Mortars, and Concretes paid $576K in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 14% on $4.1M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Prepared Additives for Cements, Mortars, and Concretes imports of $7.6M in July 2026 ran 14% above the year-to-date monthly average of $6.7M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataFormulated chemical admixtures for cement, mortar, and concrete — including plasticizers, accelerators, retarders, and air-entraining agents — are classified here when they are prepared mixtures rather than single chemical compounds. Canada leads US imports, consistent with the deep integration of North American construction materials supply chains. The US schedule breaks this heading into four 10-digit lines (3824401000, 3824402000, 3824405000, and the base 3824400000), with distinctions based on aromatic content, inorganic composition, and residual NESOI status — details that matter for both duty and chemical regulatory compliance.

Line 3824401000 applies to prepared additives containing 5% or more by weight of one or more aromatic or modified aromatic substances, while 3824402000 covers those of inorganic substances, and 3824405000 is the NESOI residual. Importers should obtain a full compositional analysis to determine which line applies, as the aromatic threshold is a common source of misclassification.
CBP may request a safety data sheet (SDS), a certificate of analysis showing component percentages, and the manufacturer's technical data sheet describing the product's intended function. For blends near the aromatic content threshold, a laboratory analysis confirming the exact percentage of aromatic substances is advisable to defend the chosen 10-digit line.
