2918.99.14.00 - 2-(4-Chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propionic acid and its salts

This HTS classification covers specific carboxylic acids and their salts that feature an additional oxygen function and are derived from aromatic compounds. Primarily, it encompasses 2-(4-Chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propionic acid and its salts. These are organic chemical compounds utilized in various industrial applications, often as intermediates or active ingredients.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 2918.99.05.00 and 2918.99.06.00, is crucial for accurate classification. While all fall under the broader "Other" designation for carboxylic acids with additional oxygen functions, this specific entry is defined by the precise chemical structure of 2-(4-Chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propionic acid and its salts. The sibling categories are populated with distinct, named compounds such as p-Anisic acid, Clofibrate, and specific naphthalene carboxylic acid derivatives, which possess different chemical functionalities and applications.

As this classification represents a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 2918.99.14.00 is determined by the direct match of the imported or exported good to the described chemical entity, 2-(4-Chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propionic acid, or its salts. The absence of further subdivisions indicates that this level of detail is sufficient for tariff purposes, and specific purity or salt form considerations are generally handled by the described product itself.
