How is the adipic acid price assessed?

Trade-implied from customs data (rule v3, 29 Sep 2026). Trade-implied unit value: the customs value of a country's monthly trade in the commodity's HS code divided by the customs tonnage, from national customs statistics as compiled by UN Comtrade, on the world-partner total. Exports FOB are used for net exporters and imports CIF for net importers, so each country line is the leg that carries the volume. The tonnage is the as-shipped weight recorded by customs, so lye and solution products are priced on shipped tonnes, not contained product. A month is published only when its tonnage clears the volume floor and the figure passes the desk's checks against the previous months and the other countries; a month that fails is held, not estimated. A figure marked rev was revised after first publication and the earlier value stays in the record.

Quarter figures are the mean of the months published for the quarter. Price history before the monthly series comes from the customs annual totals of the same reporters and flows (value over net weight of the year); a year with under 1,200 t traded, or a unit value outside a third to three times the country's monthly median, is left out. The world figure is the tonnage-weighted mean of the country lead series for the latest month that two or more countries share. A figure marked "rev" was revised after first publication; the earlier value stays in the record. Nothing on this page is typed in: every number is computed from the customs record and verified by the research desk before publication.

Primary source: national customs statistics as compiled in UN Comtrade (monthly, HS 291712, world partner), classified under the WCO Harmonized System.
