About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS category, HTS Code 2908.99.33.00, specifically covers dinitro-o-cresols, excluding 4,6-dinitro-o-cresol, and also includes 4-nitro-m-cresol. These are organic chemical compounds derived from cresols (methylphenols) through nitration. Their classification under Chapter 29 signifies they are distinct organic chemical substances, not parts of more complex preparations or mixtures.

This category distinguishes itself from its siblings by its precise chemical structure. For instance, 2908.99.20.00 and 2908.99.25.00 cover nitrophenols, which are generally less substituted than the dinitrocresols found here. Similarly, 2908.99.40.00 is for dinitrobutylphenol, differentiating it based on the presence of a butyl group in addition to nitro substituents. The "Other: Other: Other" subheading structure indicates that this is a residual category for nitrated cresol derivatives that do not fall into more specific subheadings within 2908.99.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under HTS Code 2908.99.33.00. Classification into this specific code therefore hinges on the definitive identification of the chemical substance as either a dinitro-o-cresol (other than 4,6-dinitro-o-cresol) or 4-nitro-m-cresol. Importers and exporters must ensure that the chemical analysis and labeling accurately reflect these specific compounds to comply with customs regulations.
