Importers of Retail-Packaged Glues & Adhesives (Net Weight ≤ 1 kg) paid $2.4M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 15% on $15.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Retail-Packaged Glues & Adhesives (Net Weight ≤ 1 kg) imports of $16.2M in April 2026 ran 12% above the year-to-date monthly average of $14.4M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataRetail-packaged glues and adhesives not exceeding 1 kg net weight are a high-volume consumer and light-industrial import category, with China the dominant supplier followed by Germany and Vietnam. The US schedule distinguishes animal glues (excluding fish glue) in retail packaging (3506101000) from all other retail glues (3506105000), a split that matters for importers sourcing specialty craft or conservation-grade adhesives. Products in this heading are subject to Section 301 tariffs when originating from China, making supplier diversification toward Germany, Vietnam, or Taiwan a recurring cost-management consideration.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Animal glue under 3506101000 is specifically derived from collagen-bearing animal materials (hides, bones, connective tissue) — excluding fish glue — and is presented in retail packaging at or below 1 kg. Any retail adhesive that does not meet both the animal-origin and the fish-exclusion criteria falls into the broader NESOI line 3506105000. Importers of specialty bookbinding or conservation adhesives should confirm the biological source with their supplier.
The threshold applies to the individual unit's net weight, not the total shipment weight. A pallet of 500 individual 0.5 kg glue tubes still qualifies under 3506.10 because each retail unit is below 1 kg. If any individual unit exceeds 1 kg net weight, it would be classified under the appropriate subheading of 3506.91 or 3506.99 instead.
