2932.99.04.00 - 2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-benzodioxol-4-yl methylcarbamate (Bendiocarb)

This HTS subheading, 2932.99.04.00, specifically classifies 2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-benzodioxol-4-yl methylcarbamate, commonly known as Bendiocarb. Bendiocarb is a carbamate insecticide widely used for pest control. Its classification falls within the broader category of heterocyclic compounds containing oxygen heteroatoms, which are further refined to "other" within the "aromatic" and "pesticides" subdivisions. This specific code isolates Bendiocarb based on its unique chemical structure and its primary function as an active ingredient in pesticidal formulations.

To distinguish this code from its siblings, it is important to note that 2932.99.08.00 covers a different chemical compound, 2-Ethoxy-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-5-benzofuranylmethanesulfonate, which, while also likely a pesticide or intermediate, possesses a distinct chemical identity. The sibling category 2932.99.21.00 serves as a residual "other" category for any remaining aromatic heterocyclic compounds with oxygen heteroatoms that do not fit into the more specific subheadings within this section of the tariff. Therefore, 2932.99.04.00 is reserved exclusively for Bendiocarb.

As this subheading represents a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is definitive for Bendiocarb itself, meaning that purified forms of this specific chemical compound will be classified here. When importing or exporting Bendiocarb, proper documentation detailing its identity as 2,2-Dimethyl-1,3-benzodioxol-4-yl methylcarbamate is crucial for accurate customs declaration under this HTS code.
