2930.20.10.00 - Pesticides

This HTS subheading, 2930.20.10.00, specifically designates aromatic thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates that are utilized as pesticides. These are organic compounds containing sulfur, characterized by the presence of thiocarbamate (-OC(=S)NR2) or dithiocarbamate (-SC(=S)NR2) functional groups where the attachment to the sulfur atom is made through an aromatic ring system. The primary application for substances falling under this classification is their function in controlling or eliminating pests, thereby distinguishing their use from other chemical compounds.

Within the broader category of thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates, this subheading is distinct from its sibling category, 2930.20.20, which covers "Other" thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates that are not aromatic in nature or are not primarily intended for use as pesticides. The key differentiator is the aromatic structural component linked to the sulfur-containing functional group and the defined end-use as a pesticide.

As a leaf node, 2930.20.10.00 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this code relies directly on the presence of the aromatic thiocarbamate or dithiocarbamate structure and its documented application as a pesticide. Importers and exporters should ensure that the chemical composition and intended use are clearly identified to confirm accurate classification.
