Last updated: April 2026 dataCyclohexane is a saturated cyclic hydrocarbon used primarily as a solvent and as a key intermediate in the production of nylon precursors — adipic acid and caprolactam — making it a critical input for the synthetic fiber and plastics industries. Its high purity requirements for chemical-grade use mean that specification compliance is a central concern for importers. Trade flows for cyclohexane can be sensitive to Section 301 tariff exposure depending on origin, so buyers should verify the applicable duty treatment for their specific supplier country.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Chemical-grade cyclohexane used in adipic acid or caprolactam synthesis typically requires purity of 99.9% or higher, with strict limits on benzene and other aromatic impurities. Importers should request certificates of analysis and confirm specifications meet the downstream processor's requirements before finalizing purchase contracts.
Cyclohexane sourced from certain countries may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. Importers should verify the current tariff treatment by origin at the time of entry, as applicability and rates can change. A licensed customs broker can confirm the correct duty treatment for a specific supplier country.
