2932.99.08.00 - 2-Ethoxy-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-5- benzofuranylmethanesulfonate 🖩

This category specifically covers the compound 2-Ethoxy-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-5-benzofuranylmethanesulfonate. It falls under the broader classification of heterocyclic compounds containing oxygen as the sole hetero-atom, specifically those that are aromatic in nature and are primarily used as pesticides. The methanesulfonate ester functional group, combined with the benzofuran ring system, is the defining characteristic of this particular substance.

Distinguishing this classification from its sibling, 2932.99.04.00 (Bendiocarb), is crucial. While both are aromatic heterocyclic pesticides within the same broad headings, Bendiocarb is a carbamate, whereas the compound under 2932.99.08.00 is characterized by its methanesulfonate ester. This difference in chemical structure and functional groups dictates their distinct classification. The other sibling, 2932.99.21.00, serves as a residual category for any other heterocyclic aromatic compounds used as pesticides that do not fit into more specific subheadings.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification within this subheading is determined by the precise chemical identity of the substance as 2-Ethoxy-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethyl-5-benzofuranylmethanesulfonate. Importers and exporters must ensure that the imported or exported goods precisely match this chemical name and structure to be correctly classified under this code, avoiding misclassification with closely related but chemically distinct substances.
