2930.20.90.10 - Pesticides

This classification, HTS Code 2930.20.90.10, specifically covers organo-sulfur compounds classified as thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates that function as pesticides. This category encompasses a range of chemicals designed for agricultural or pest control applications, leveraging their specific chemical structures to target and eliminate unwanted organisms. The defining characteristic here is the intended use as a pesticide, differentiating them from other compounds within the broader thiocarbamate and dithiocarbamate family.

Distinguishing this subcategory from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. HTS Code 2930.20.90.20, for instance, covers thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates used principally in the rubber processing industry. Therefore, if the primary application of the organo-sulfur compound is not pesticidal but rather for enhancing rubber properties, it would fall under that alternative classification. Similarly, HTS Code 2930.20.90.50, "Other," serves as a residual category for thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates not specifically classified elsewhere, meaning this pesticide-specific category takes precedence for goods fitting its defined purpose.

As a leaf node, HTS Code 2930.20.90.10 does not have further subcategories. Classification at this level relies on the clear identification of the chemical as a thiocarbamate or dithiocarbamate and its explicit function as a pesticide. Practical classification will therefore involve examining product documentation, labeling, and scientific literature to confirm the chemical composition and its established pesticidal properties. This ensures that goods intended for crop protection, public health pest control, or similar applications are correctly categorized.
