9902.01.92 - Dichloromethylbenzene (CAS no. 29797-40-8) (provided for in subheading 2903.99.80)

This HTS category, 9902.01.92, covers Dichloromethylbenzene (CAS no. 29797-40-8). Importantly, this specific classification is established under temporary legislation or special provisions, as indicated by its presence within Chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. While the chemical itself would typically fall under Chapter 29 (Organic Chemicals), its inclusion here signifies a particular trade or regulatory treatment. This treatment is further detailed by its reference to subheading 2903.99.80, suggesting that the base classification for Dichloromethylbenzene is within the broader category of halogenated derivatives of aromatic hydrocarbons.

Given that this node is a leaf node within Chapter 99, there are no further subdivisions. The distinction from its siblings, which are primarily live animals and other agricultural products, is stark. This category's focus is exclusively on a specific chemical compound subject to special import provisions, rather than the broad categories of live commodities found at the same hierarchical level in other chapters. The purpose of classifying Dichloromethylbenzene under this specific 99xx subheading is to apply temporary legislative measures, trade agreement modifications, or Section 22 restrictions, overriding its standard classification under Chapter 29 for the duration of these provisions.
