2930.90.43.30 - Terbufos (ISO)

This HTS subcategory, specifically 2930.90.43.30, covers the organo-sulfur compound Terbufos (ISO). Terbufos is a systemic insecticide and nematicide belonging to the organothiophosphate chemical class. Its primary function is to protect crops from a variety of soil-borne insects and nematodes through its action as an acetylcholinesterase inhibitor.

To distinguish this specific classification, consider its siblings. While other organo-sulfur compounds listed under 2930.90.43 are also pesticides, Terbufos is a distinct chemical entity with a unique structure and application profile compared to fonofos (2930.90.43.10) and phorate (2930.90.43.15). Furthermore, it differs from compounds containing a phosphorus atom bonded to specific alkyl groups but no other carbon atoms (2930.90.43.20), as Terbufos possesses a more complex molecular structure that includes both sulfur and phosphorus.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus is on the precise identification of Terbufos based on its chemical identity and intended use as an agricultural pesticide. Classification at this level relies on accurate product identification and the established naming conventions recognized internationally (e.g., ISO common names).
