3808.92.24.00 - Maneb; Zineb; Mancozeb; and Metiram 🖩

This HTS category, 3808.92.24.00, specifically covers fungicides that belong to the chemical families of thioamides, thiocarbamates, dithiocarbamates, thiurams, or isothiocyanates. These fungicides are distinct due to their specific chemical structures containing sulfur and nitrogen atoms arranged in particular linkages. They are often formulated for use in agricultural and horticultural settings to protect plants from fungal diseases. Examples of common active ingredients falling within this classification include Maneb, Zineb, Mancozeb, and Metiram.

This category is differentiated from its sibling category, 3808.92.28.00 (Other fungicides), by the explicit requirement for the fungicide to be a member of the enumerated chemical groups. While 3808.92.28.00 would encompass fungicides that do not fit the specific chemical criteria of this subcategory, this classification isolates those with the characteristic thioamide, thiocarbamate, dithiocarbamate, thiuram, or isothiocyanate structures. The focus is on the precise chemical composition of the active ingredient as the primary classification determinant.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification into this code relies solely on identifying that the product is a fungicide and that its active ingredient possesses one of the specified chemical structures. The practical application of this classification hinges on consulting the product's ingredient list and verifying the presence of Maneb, Zineb, Mancozeb, Metiram, or other compounds fitting the described chemical classes.
