SITCSection 5
U.S. imports of cyclic hydrocarbons, n.e.s. (SITC 51129) totaled $10.1M in April 2026, traded with 22 countries.
Importers of Cyclic Hydrocarbons, N.E.S. paid $1.0M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 11% on $9.3M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: April 2026 dataCyclic hydrocarbons not elsewhere specified encompass aromatic and alicyclic compounds that do not qualify under any of the named cyclic hydrocarbon headings — including naphthalene derivatives, higher alkylbenzenes, and specialty ring-structure intermediates used in dyes, agrochemicals, and fine chemicals. The residual nature of this heading makes it a frequent site of classification disputes, particularly for multi-ring or partially hydrogenated structures whose placement between cyclic and heterocyclic categories is ambiguous. Importers should document the precise chemical identity, CAS number, and purity of each substance to support classification and EPA TSCA compliance.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
This heading captures cyclic hydrocarbon compounds that are not specifically named elsewhere — examples include higher alkylbenzenes, decalin (decahydronaphthalene), tetralin (tetrahydronaphthalene), and certain polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons used in specialty chemical synthesis. If a compound could plausibly fit a named heading, that named heading takes precedence; the NES heading is strictly residual.
A certificate of analysis showing the compound's CAS number, chemical name, molecular structure, and purity level is the foundation for classification support. Importers should also retain the supplier's technical data sheet and, for novel or ambiguous substances, consider requesting a binding ruling from US Customs and Border Protection before the first shipment to avoid reclassification and penalty exposure.
