Overview
This HTS category, 9902.01.93, specifically covers the chemical compound 1-Chloro-2-chloromethyl-3-fluorobenzene, identified by CAS Number 55117-15-2. This substance is subject to temporary legislative provisions and is classified under this Chapter 99 subheading, with its primary classification being in subheading 2903.99.80, indicating it is a halogenated derivative of aromatic hydrocarbons. The purpose of its inclusion in Chapter 99 is due to specific temporary trade measures or restrictions that are in effect.
Distinguishing this item from its numerous sibling categories within Chapter 99, which generally encompass temporary legislation and trade modifications, is straightforward. While siblings represent a broad spectrum of temporary trade provisions, 9902.01.93 is uniquely defined by its specific chemical identity and its reference to a particular permanent HTS subheading (2903.99.80). This makes it a precisely targeted classification for a specific chemical, rather than a general category of temporary trade measures.
As a leaf node within the HTS database, this category does not have subcategories. Therefore, the classification process for 9902.01.93 relies entirely on accurately identifying the imported product as 1-Chloro-2-chloromethyl-3-fluorobenzene and ensuring compliance with any associated temporary legislation referenced by Chapter 99. Importers must be aware of the dual nature of this classification: its primary classification under Chapter 29 and its temporary treatment under Chapter 99.
