3808.99.04.00 - Mixtures of 1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2,2- trichloroethanol (Dicofol) and application adjuvants

This HTS category, 3808.99.04.00, specifically covers mixtures containing the pesticide 1,1-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2,2,2-trichloroethanol, commonly known as Dicofol, alongside application adjuvants. These products are designed for use as pesticides, falling under the broader umbrella of disinfectants and similar products. The inclusion of application adjuvants signifies formulations that enhance the effectiveness, application, or stability of the active Dicofol ingredient, differentiating them from the raw active ingredient itself.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 3808.99.08.00 ("Other"), is the explicit mention of Dicofol as the active compound. While 3808.99.08.00 would encompass other miscellaneous pesticide preparations not otherwise specified, 3808.99.04.00 is precise in its scope, focusing solely on formulations where Dicofol is the key pesticidal component. This ensures that goods with this specific composition are correctly identified and differentiated within the tariff system.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification terminates here, meaning that any mixture fitting the description of containing Dicofol and application adjuvants, and not fitting into more specific prior headings within Chapter 3808, will be classified under this code. Therefore, the primary focus for classification professionals is to accurately identify the presence of Dicofol and the nature of the accompanying adjuvants to confirm the applicability of this specific code.
