Analysis
HTS 2902.11.00 covers cyclanes, cyclenes and cycloterpenes: cyclohexane under heading 2902 (cyclic hydrocarbons).
There is no general-rate duty on this line, which puts it with roughly 26% of the 1050 tariff lines in chapter 29 that are also free. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 325194 (Cyclic Crude, Intermediate, and Gum and Wood Chemical Manufacturing), an industry of 68 US establishments employing 5,542 people, the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
All 16 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.
The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
