confirmation of the accuracy of the 

information published. 

(b) Petition Content: 

(1) Substance name: Caprolactam. 

(2) Petitioner: AdvanSix Inc., an 

exporter of caprolactam. 

(3) Proposed classification numbers: 

(i) HTSUS number: 2933.71.00. 

(ii) Schedule B number: 2933.71.0000. 

(iii) CAS number: 105–60–2. 

(4) Petition filing dates: 

(i) Petition filing date for purposes of 

making a determination: November 8, 

2023. 

(ii) Petition filing date for purposes of 

section 11.02 of Rev. Proc. 2022–26, as 

modified by section 3 of Rev. Proc. 

2023–20: January 1, 2023. 

(5) Description from petition: 

According to the petition, caprolactam, 

a white solid, is primarily used to 

manufacture nylon resins and other 

synthetic fibers. 

Caprolactam is made from benzene, 

propylene, ammonia, methane, and 

sulfuric acid; however, sulfuric acid is 

cancelled from the stoichiometric 

material consumption equation due to 

no net consumption/production. 

Taxable chemicals constitute 46.64 

percent by weight of the materials used 

to produce this substance. 

(6) Process identified in petition as 

predominant method of production of 

substance: Caprolactam is produced by 

first oxidizing cumene to yield phenol, 

which is then partially reduced with 

hydrogen to yield cyclohexanone. 

Cyclohexanone is then reacted with 

Raschig hydroxylamine to generate 

cyclohexanone oxime. The 

cyclohexanone oxime undergoes 

Beckmann rearrangement in the 

presence of fuming sulfuric acid (oleum) 

to give an intermediate material known 

as rearrangement mass, which is 

subsequently hydrolyzed and then 

neutralized with ammonia to yield ecaprolactam. 

(7) Stoichiometric material 

consumption equation, based on 

process identified as predominant 

method of production: 

C6H6 (benzene) + C3H6 (propylene) + 2.5 

O2 (oxygen) + 0.5 CH4 (methane) + 

5 NH3 (ammonia) + 2 H2O (water) 

+ 2 SO2 (sulfur dioxide) → C6H11ON 

(e-caprolactam) + C3H6O (acetone) + 

2(NH4)2SO4 (ammonium sulfate) + 

0.5 CO2 (carbon dioxide) 

(8) Tax rate calculated by Petitioner, 

based on Petitioner’s conversion factors 

for taxable chemicals used in 

production of substance: 

(i) Tax rate: $14.77 per ton. 

(ii) Conversion factors: 0.69 for 

benzene; 0.37 for propylene; 0.75 for 

ammonia; 0.07 for methane.

0006.
