Last updated: April 2026 dataResorcinol (1,3-benzenediol) is a critical industrial chemical used in rubber-to-cord adhesion systems for tires, UV-absorber synthesis, and specialty resin production, making it a key input for the automotive and coatings industries. Japan is the leading supplier to the US market, with China and India also contributing. All forms — pure resorcinol and its salts — enter under the single 10-digit line 2907210000. Importers sourcing from China should account for Section 301 tariff exposure when modeling landed costs.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Tire cord adhesion systems using resorcinol-formaldehyde-latex (RFL) chemistry require consistent purity and low impurity profiles to achieve reliable bonding performance. Importers supplying tire manufacturers typically need to provide certificates of analysis specifying purity, moisture content, and heavy-metal limits.
No — both resorcinol and its salts are consolidated under the single 10-digit line 2907210000. However, commercial invoices should clearly identify whether the product is the free acid or a specific salt form, as this affects downstream regulatory and end-use documentation requirements.
