9902.01.89 - 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene (CAS No. 120-82-1) (provided for in subheading 2903.99.10)

This HTS classification, 9902.01.89, pertains specifically to 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene (CAS No. 120-82-1). It is important to note that this is a temporary classification provision, indicated by its placement within Chapter 99, which deals with temporary legislation and modifications. While the chemical itself is provided for under subheading 2903.99.10, this specific 9902 code represents a temporary modification to its treatment, potentially due to trade agreements or specific import restrictions enacted under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.

As a leaf node within the HTS database, 9902.01.89 has no further subcategories. Its purpose is to capture a particular instance of 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene under a specific, temporary tariff or import control regime. Unlike the numerous sibling categories at the HTS root level, which encompass a vast array of live animals, this node is highly specialized, focusing on a single chemical compound under a distinct legislative framework.

Therefore, when classifying 1,2,4-Trichlorobenzene, it is crucial to first determine if the import falls under the temporary provisions of 9902.01.89. If it does, this classification takes precedence over its permanent placement within Chapter 29. This temporary code signals that specific, potentially more stringent or altered, customs procedures and duties may apply.
