Overview
This HTS category, 3602.00.00.30, specifically encompasses dynamite and other high explosives when they are presented in forms suitable for blasting. These forms commonly include cartridges, sticks, or similar preparations designed for industrial, mining, or construction applications. The defining characteristic is their high explosive power and direct applicability to controlled explosive demolition or excavation.
This classification is distinguished from its sibling category, 3602.00.00.60 (Other), by the specific mention and intended use of "dynamite and other high explosives" in forms ready for blasting. While the sibling category would cover any prepared explosives not meeting the specific criteria of 3602.00.00.30, this category is narrowly focused on those high explosives designed for the direct purpose of blasting.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under this code hinges on the product being a high explosive, such as dynamite, and its physical presentation and intended use for blasting operations, differentiating it from general or other specialized explosive preparations that might fall under broader categories.
