Succinic Acid from Maleic Anhydride
Succinic acid produced through hydrogenation of maleic anhydride, used in biodegradable plastics, pharmaceuticals, and food additives. Classified under HTS 2917.19.20.00 as succinic acid derived in whole or in part from maleic anhydride per the heading description.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If succinic acid derived solely from fermentation/biobased processes
Non-maleic/cyclohexane derived succinic acid falls under general acyclic polycarboxylic acids.
If when imported as heterocyclic derivative rather than acyclic form
Ring formation changes classification from acyclic polycarboxylic acids to heterocyclic compounds.
If for aqueous solutions exceeding transport concentration limits
Solutions not qualifying under chapter note (e) classify as chemical preparations.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide production process documentation proving maleic anhydride derivation to avoid reclassification
• Include FDA GRAS status documentation if intended for food/pharma applications
• Monitor quantitative limits in additional U.S. note 3; excess may trigger higher duties
