2908.92.00.00 - 4,6-Dinitro-o-cresol (DNOC) (ISO) and its salts

This HTS category, 2908.92.00.00, specifically covers 4,6-Dinitro-o-cresol (DNOC) and its salts. DNOC is a synthetic organic chemical compound historically used as an insecticide, herbicide, and fungicide. Its classification here is based on its chemical structure as a nitrated derivative of phenol-alcohol.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 2908.91.00.00, which covers Dinoseb and its salts. While both are nitrated phenol derivatives and share some historical applications, they are distinct chemical entities with different structures and potentially varying regulatory statuses. The "Other" designation under 2908.99 implies further subdivisions that would differentiate other nitrated or nitrosated phenol derivatives not specifically listed.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 2908.92.00.00. Therefore, any product fitting the description of 4,6-Dinitro-o-cresol or its salts, regardless of purity or specific salt form, would be classified here. Importers and exporters should ensure that the chemical identity of the substance precisely matches that of DNOC to ensure accurate classification.
