U.S. exports of retail-packaged glues and adhesives (net weight ≤ 1 kg) (HS 350610) totaled $39.3M in July 2026.
Importers of Retail-Packaged Glues and Adhesives (Net Weight ≤ 1 kg) paid $1.9M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 14% on $13.2M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataRetail-packaged adhesives in net weights at or below one kilogram — covering everything from consumer super glues and craft adhesives to animal-based glues — are subdivided at the 10-digit level into animal glues (excluding fish-based), and a residual NESOI category, with China and Germany the leading sources. Products in this heading are subject to Section 301 tariffs when originating from China, a significant cost consideration given China's dominant share of supply. The retail-sale packaging requirement is the key classification boundary: bulk adhesive in the same formulation, packaged above one kilogram, falls outside this heading and into Chapter 35's industrial adhesive provisions. Importers should confirm net weight per unit at the time of entry, as packaging configurations that straddle the threshold can trigger reclassification.

The defining criterion is retail presentation: goods must be put up for retail sale as glues or adhesives in net weights not exceeding one kilogram per unit. Industrial adhesives sold in bulk containers, or the same formulation packaged above the one-kilogram threshold, are classified elsewhere in Chapter 35. CBP examines both the packaging format and the net weight per sales unit to confirm eligibility.
Yes. The US schedule maintains a dedicated 10-digit line for animal glues (excluding fish glue) put up for retail sale at or below one kilogram (3506101000), separate from the general NESOI retail glue line (3506105000). Fish-based adhesives and purely synthetic adhesives fall into the NESOI category. Importers of animal-derived adhesives should also confirm whether any USDA or FDA labeling requirements apply based on the source material.
