3808.69.10.00 - Containing any aromatic or modified aromatic pesticide

This HTS subheading, 3808.69.10.00, specifically classifies disinfectants and similar products that contain aromatic or modified aromatic pesticides. These products are prepared and packaged for retail sale or presented as specific preparations or articles designed for pest control or plant regulation. The "aromatic or modified aromatic" aspect is the key distinguishing feature, referring to the chemical structure of the active pesticide ingredient.

It is important to distinguish this subheading from its sibling, 3808.69.50.00, which covers "Other" disinfectants and similar products. While both fall under the broader category of disinfectants and similar products for retail sale, 3808.69.10.00 is reserved for those whose active pesticidal component is specifically of an aromatic or modified aromatic nature. This classification hinges on the chemical composition of the pesticidal agent, not merely its function.

As this subheading is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, correct classification under 3808.69.10.00 relies entirely on verifying that the disinfectant or similar product contains an active pesticidal ingredient that fits the description of "aromatic or modified aromatic." Examples may include certain types of moth repellents or specific household disinfectants where the active ingredient is derived from aromatic compounds.
