Last updated: September 2026 dataRosin salts — including calcium, zinc, and sodium resinates — are processed derivatives of rosin or resin acids used as emulsifiers, driers in paints and varnishes, and paper-sizing agents. The single US tariff line (3806200000) covers all such salts except salts of rosin adducts, which are classified elsewhere. Colombia leads US import supply, with France and Mexico also contributing. Because these products are chemically processed intermediates rather than crude naval stores, buyers should confirm the specific metal cation and resin acid base to ensure the product meets formulation requirements and is not misclassified as a rosin adduct salt.

Rosin adducts are rosins that have been chemically modified through reactions such as Diels-Alder addition with maleic anhydride or fumaric acid before being converted to a salt. Salts of those adducts are excluded from 380620 and classified elsewhere in Chapter 38. If your product is a salt of a maleic- or fumaric-modified rosin, it requires separate classification review.
Rosin salts are industrial chemicals subject to standard CBP entry documentation. Importers should provide a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) and a certificate of analysis identifying the metal cation and resin acid composition. If the product is intended for food-contact applications, FDA regulations on indirect food additives may also apply, and compliance should be confirmed before importation.
