3808.99.95.01 - Other 🖩

This HTS code, 3808.99.95.01, falls under the broad category of "Other" disinfectants and similar products, when such products are not specifically enumerated elsewhere within heading 3808 and are not prepared or presented for retail sale. It encompasses preparations and articles used for disinfecting and other similar pest control purposes that do not fit into more specific subcategories. The key criterion for inclusion here is that the product serves a disinfectant or similar function and is not packaged for direct consumer use.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 3808.99.70.00, is crucial. While 3808.99.70.00 specifically covers disinfectants and similar products containing an inorganic substance, this node (3808.99.95.01) is for those products that *do not* primarily consist of inorganic substances, or where the presence of inorganic substances is not the defining characteristic for classification. This distinction allows for the accurate classification of a wide array of chemical preparations and articles designed for sanitation and pest management that do not fit neatly into the inorganic subgroup.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification under 3808.99.95.01 requires a thorough review of the product's composition, intended use, and presentation to ensure it meets the residual "other" criteria after all more specific provisions within heading 3808 have been considered. Examples may include specialized industrial cleaning agents with disinfectant properties, or bulk chemical formulations intended for large-scale application in non-retail settings.
