Overview
This HTS classification, 2916.20.10.00, specifically covers Tefluthrin, a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide. It is characterized by its complex chemical structure, featuring a cyclopropanecarboxylate ester derived from a halogenated propenyl group and a tetrafluoromethylphenyl moiety. Tefluthrin functions as a potent acaricide and insecticide, widely used in agricultural and public health applications to control a broad spectrum of pests.
This specific subcategory is distinguished from its sibling, 2916.20.50.00 ("Other"), by its precise chemical identity. While the "Other" category encompasses any cyclanic, cyclenic, or cycloterpenic monocarboxylic acid derivatives not otherwise specified, 2916.20.10.00 is reserved exclusively for the compound known as Tefluthrin, recognized by its unique International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) name and CAS Registry Number.
As this classification node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification process for goods falling under 2916.20.10.00 relies on the precise chemical identification of Tefluthrin. Importers and exporters must ensure that the product being declared precisely matches the chemical structure and common name of Tefluthrin to correctly utilize this HTS code.
