3808.93.50 - Other

This HTS classification, 3808.93.50, covers "Other" herbicides, anti-sprouting products, and plant-growth regulators that are not specifically defined by containing an inorganic substance, as found under sibling category 3808.93.20. The scope here pertains to a broad range of organic chemical compounds formulated for agricultural or horticultural purposes, aimed at controlling unwanted plant growth or influencing plant development. These products are typically presented in forms or packings for retail sale or as preparations and articles for direct application.

The distinction from the sibling category 3808.93.20 is crucial; this category 3808.93.50 is for those preparations whose primary active ingredients are organic, or where inorganic components are not the defining characteristic for classification. This allows for the inclusion of a wide array of herbicides, weed killers, and substances designed to inhibit sprouting or modulate plant growth that do not fit into more narrowly defined subheadings.

Within this "Other" category, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification. Subcategory 3808.93.50.10 specifically addresses mixtures containing glufosinate or its salts or esters, along with application adjuvants. Similarly, 3808.93.50.20 is designated for mixtures of glyphosate or its salts or esters with application adjuvants. Finally, 3808.93.50.40 serves as a catch-all for all remaining organic herbicide, anti-sprouting product, and plant-growth regulator preparations not otherwise specified in the preceding subcategories.
