Analysis
HTS 2916.14.10 covers dicyclopentenyloxyethyl methacrylate under heading 2916 (unsaturated acyclic monocarboxylic acids, cyclic monocarboxylic acids, their anhydrides…).
Rates on the nearby lines range from duty-free to 6.5%. The costliest confusion would be with 2916.39.79 (other: other) at 6.5%, a difference of 6.5 points on the customs value.
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.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 25% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 25% duty.
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 325199 (All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing), an industry of 894 US establishments employing 77,304 people, the industry a domestic producer of these goods reports under.
Every edition we compared, from Jan 2023 to Oct 2026 (Rev. 22), shows the same general rate of Free.
