2909.50.40.50 - Other

This classification, HTS Code 2909.50.40.50, encompasses "Other" odoriferous or flavoring compounds that fall under the broader category of ether-phenols, ether-alcohol-phenols, and their halogenated, sulfonated, nitrated, or nitrosated derivatives. It serves as a residual category for these specific types of organic chemicals when they are primarily intended for use as scent or taste enhancers in various products. The key defining characteristic for inclusion here is the compound's function as an odoriferous or flavoring agent.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, HTS Code 2909.50.40.10, which specifically covers eugenol and isoeugenol. While eugenol and isoeugenol are themselves odoriferous and flavoring compounds derived from ether-phenol structures, they are provided a distinct classification due to their widespread use and established presence in commerce. Therefore, HTS Code 2909.50.40.50 is for other similar compounds not specifically listed under the eugenol and isoeugenol subheading.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under HTS Code 2909.50.40.50. Classification decisions for this code will rely on determining that the chemical compound in question is an ether-phenol, ether-alcohol-phenol, or a derivative thereof, and that its primary intended use is as an odoriferous or flavoring substance, and it is not otherwise specifically classified.
