3808.92.50 - Other

This HTS category, 3808.92.50, encompasses fungicides that are not formulated with an inorganic substance and are not specifically designated under other subheadings within 3808.92. Fungicides are chemical products designed to prevent or destroy fungal growth, which can damage crops, materials, or be detrimental to health. This classification applies to preparations or articles containing these fungicidal agents, put up in forms suitable for retail sale, such as liquids, powders, granules, or impregnated materials.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 3808.92.30, is crucial. While 3808.92.30 is specifically for fungicides containing an inorganic substance, 3808.92.50 covers fungicides whose active ingredients are primarily organic or do not fall under the inorganic classification. The primary basis for distinction lies in the chemical composition of the active fungicidal component.

Within this category, two subcategories exist to further refine classification. The first, 3808.92.50.40, is for formulated fungicides specifically containing 3-iodoprop-2-yn-1-yl butylcarbamate (IPBC), a common organic fungicide. The second, 3808.92.50.80, serves as a residual category for all other fungicides not meeting the specific IPBC criteria, ensuring comprehensive coverage for fungicidal products not otherwise classified.
