3808.62 - In packings of a net weight content exceeding 300 g but not exceeding 7.5 kg:

This HTS category, 3808.62, encompasses insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, antisprouting products, plant-growth regulators, disinfectants, and similar products that are specifically packaged in quantities exceeding 300 grams but not exceeding 7.5 kilograms. These products are intended for sale in these retail-sized packings or as preparations or articles, such as treated bands, wicks, candles, or flypapers, falling under the scope of subheading note 2 to this chapter. The key defining characteristic of this subcategory is the net weight of the packaging.

It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. 3808.61 covers identical types of products, but specifically those packaged in net weight content not exceeding 300 grams. Conversely, 3808.69 is a residual category for "other" packings that do not fall into the specified weight ranges of 3808.61 or 3808.62. Therefore, the precise net weight of the retail packing is the primary differentiator for classification within these sibling headings.

Within 3808.62, further subdivisions exist to refine classification based on the chemical composition of the pesticidal agent. Subcategory 3808.62.10.00 is designated for products containing any aromatic or modified aromatic pesticide, indicating a specific chemical family. The remaining products fitting the weight criteria but not containing these specific aromatic pesticides are classified under 3808.62.50.00. This hierarchical structure allows for a more granular approach to classifying these diverse chemical pest control and plant management products.
