3808.61.10.00 - Containing any aromatic or modified aromatic pesticide

This HTS subcategory, 3808.61.10.00, specifically covers insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, antisprouting products, plant-growth regulators, disinfectants, and similar products that are formulated to contain aromatic or modified aromatic pesticidal substances. These preparations are designed for use in controlling pests, diseases, or unwanted vegetation, and are presented in forms or packings suitable for retail sale, or as ready-to-use preparations or articles. The key defining characteristic for classification here is the presence of aromatic or modified aromatic compounds within the pesticide formulation.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 3808.61.50.00 ("Other"), by the specific chemical composition of the active pesticidal ingredient. While both subheadings fall under the broader grouping of retail-packaged or prepared pesticides and disinfectants not exceeding 300 grams in net weight, 3808.61.10.00 is exclusively for products where aromatic or modified aromatic compounds are integral to the pesticidal action. The sibling category would encompass products that do not meet this specific chemical criterion, perhaps containing different classes of active ingredients or being formulated in a way that doesn't rely on aromatic chemistry for efficacy.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on clearly identifying products that meet the criteria of containing aromatic or modified aromatic pesticidal agents, are presented for retail, and fall within the specified weight limitations. Examples could include certain types of mosquito repellents utilizing aromatic oils or specific fungal treatments that employ aromatic organic compounds.
