2903.99.30.00 - Pesticides 🖩

This HTS category, 2903.99.30.00, specifically covers pesticides that are halogenated derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons. These compounds are characterized by the presence of at least one halogen atom (chlorine, bromine, or iodine) attached to an aromatic ring structure, and their primary intended use is for controlling or eradicating pests. Examples include certain chlorinated benzene derivatives or brominated aromatic compounds formulated as insecticides, herbicides, or fungicides.

This classification is distinct from other "Other" categories within halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons due to its specific functional designation as a pesticide. While other "Other" categories might encompass aromatic compounds with halogens used for different industrial purposes, such as intermediates in chemical synthesis or components in dyes, this code is reserved for substances whose principal application is pest management.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on confirming both the chemical structure (halogenated aromatic hydrocarbon) and the intended use (pesticide). Importers and exporters must ensure that the declared product meets both criteria to fall under this specific HTS code, distinguishing it from other potentially similar chemical compounds classified elsewhere.
