Used in 4 industrial sectors tracked by the EPA.
Where It Comes From
Customs basis: HS 291590 · basket
This chemical's HS customs code 291590 covers 180chemicals in total. US Census does not break out this chemical's share of that bucket, so the country-of-origin mix is not available. EPA CDR reports import dependency at the chemical level separately, shown above.
