About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification, 2933.99.05.00, specifically covers Acridine and Indole. These are heterocyclic organic compounds characterized by specific ring structures containing nitrogen atoms. Acridine is a tricyclic aromatic organic compound, while indole is a bicyclic compound consisting of a six-membered benzene ring fused to a five-membered nitrogen-containing pyrrole ring. Their classification within this "Other" category for heterocyclic compounds signifies they do not fit into more specific subheadings under aromatic or modified aromatic heterocyclic compounds.

When differentiating this category from its siblings, it's crucial to note that other entries under 2933.99.00 cover a wide array of distinct heterocyclic compounds, often with more complex structures or specific functional groups that dictate their classification. For instance, siblings like Butyl (R)-2-[4-(5-trifluoromethyl-2-pyridinyloxy)phenoxy]propanoate or the triazole derivatives (Myclobutanil and Fenbuconazole) are classified based on their unique chemical structures and their primary uses, often as pesticides or pharmaceuticals. Similarly, Carbazole is another distinct heterocyclic compound with its own specific classification.

As 2933.99.05.00 is a leaf node, it signifies that "Acridine and Indole" are the most specific designations for these substances within the HTS. There are no further subdivisions, meaning that any imports or exports of Acridine or Indole, regardless of minor variations in purity or form, would generally fall under this code, provided they meet the overarching criteria for heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen hetero-atoms only, and are not specifically excluded by a more detailed tariff provision elsewhere.
