Acetone From Belgium, Singapore, the Republic of South Africa, the Republic of South Korea, and Spain: Continuation of Antidumping Duty Orders
Published Date: 2/6/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. government has decided to keep special taxes on acetone imported from Belgium, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, and Spain because stopping them could hurt American businesses. These taxes, called antidumping duties, help protect U.S. companies from unfairly cheap imports. This decision started on February 2, 2026, and means importers will keep paying these extra fees for now.

Antidumping Duties Continue on Acetone Imports
The U.S. will keep antidumping duties on acetone imported from Belgium, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, and Spain, effective February 2, 2026. U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect antidumping cash deposits at the rates in effect at the time of entry for those imports.
Which Acetone Shipments Are Covered or Excluded
The orders cover all grades of liquid or aqueous acetone (CAS 67-64-1), including pure acetone and mixtures where the acetone component is present, and commingled acetone; they list HTSUS subheadings 2914.11.1000 and 2914.11.5000 for acetone. Mixtures transformed into another product (so acetone cannot be separated, e.g., methyl methacrylate or Bisphenol A) are excluded, and any combination or mixture is excluded if the total acetone component is less than 5 percent of the combination by dry weight.
