U.S. imports of Cyclic Crude & Intermediate, and Gum & Wood Chemicals (NAICS 325194) totaled $331.2M in August 2026, imported from 73 countries.
Importers of Cyclic Crude & Intermediate, and Gum & Wood Chemicals paid $23.3M in duties in August 2026, an average duty rate of 6.58% — duty actually collected as a share of the imports that cleared customs, not the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: August 2026 dataCyclic crudes and intermediates — aromatic compounds derived from coal tar and petroleum refining, such as benzene, toluene, xylene, naphthalene, and their derivatives — are foundational feedstocks for dyes, pharmaceuticals, and plastics. This NAICS class also captures gum and wood chemicals, including rosin, turpentine, and tall oil derivatives, which serve the adhesives, coatings, and paper industries. The aromatic intermediates segment has significant Section 301 exposure for Chinese-origin products, and several specific compounds have faced antidumping proceedings. Purity grade and whether a compound is presented as a mixture or a chemically defined substance are the primary classification determinants under HTS Chapter 29 versus Chapter 27.

Gum and wood chemicals — such as rosin, tall oil, and turpentine — are bio-based and typically classified under HTS Chapter 38 or specific headings in Chapter 29, depending on processing. Petroleum-derived aromatics fall primarily under Chapters 27 or 29. The distinction matters for duty rates, country-of-origin rules, and eligibility under any applicable bio-based product preferences.
Under HTS General Rules of Interpretation and Chapter 29 notes, a product qualifies as a chemically defined compound — and thus classifies in Chapter 29 — when it consists of a single specified chemical compound of defined molecular structure, even if containing impurities. Mixtures of two or more compounds generally fall outside Chapter 29 and may classify in Chapter 38 or elsewhere, often at different duty rates.
