2930.90.10.00 - Pesticides 🖩

This HTS subheading, 2930.90.10.00, specifically covers pesticides that are classified within the broader category of organo-sulfur compounds. These are chemical substances containing both sulfur and carbon atoms, where the sulfur atom is directly bonded to carbon. The products falling under this designation are primarily intended for use in controlling or eradicating pests, including insects, fungi, weeds, or other organisms detrimental to crops or public health. The classification relies on the chemical structure of the compound and its stated pesticidal function.

This category is distinct from other "other" organo-sulfur compounds that may not possess direct pesticidal properties. While other organo-sulfur compounds might be used as intermediates in the production of pesticides or have entirely different industrial applications (e.g., in rubber manufacturing or pharmaceuticals), this specific subheading is reserved for finished or formulated products whose primary purpose is pest control. The key differentiator is the intended use as a pesticide, as evidenced by product labeling and intended application.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions under 2930.90.10.00. Therefore, the classification process for any given organo-sulfur compound intended for pesticidal use will conclude at this level. Importers and exporters should carefully examine the chemical composition and the stated function of the product to ensure it meets the criteria for classification as a pesticide under this specific subheading, rather than being classified as a general organo-sulfur compound under a different heading.
