Overview
This HTS category, 1301.90.91.90, encompasses a residual group of natural gums, resins, gum-resins, and oleoresins that do not fit into the more specifically defined sibling categories within 1301.90.91. These are products derived from plants, excluding those specifically classified as balsams (1301.90.91.05), bleached shellac (1301.90.91.10), seed lac (1301.90.91.20), tragacanth (1301.90.91.30), or karaya (1301.90.91.40). The classification here hinges on the absence of defining characteristics that would place them within the preceding, more granular descriptions.
The distinction of this "Other" category is crucial for ensuring accurate classification when a product exhibits characteristics of natural saps and extracts but doesn't align with the established types of lac, gums, or resins with specific subheadings. For instance, it might include less common plant exudates or processed forms of natural resins that are not specifically listed elsewhere, provided they are not primarily classified as balsams or shellac of specific preparations.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification within 1301.90.91.90 relies entirely on the detailed examination of the physical and chemical properties of the product, its origin, and its intended use, to confirm that it falls outside the scope of the more specifically designated sibling categories.
