Overview
This HTS category, 9902.01.98, specifically covers Lithium p-styrenesulfonate, identified by CAS No. 4551-88-6. This chemical compound is subject to temporary legislation and import restrictions under Chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Its classification is directly tied to its provision under subheading 2904.10.32, indicating it is a specific organic compound and its import is governed by special provisions beyond standard tariff treatments.
As this is a leaf node within Chapter 99, there are no direct subcategories to explore. Its distinctiveness lies in its unique designation within a chapter dedicated to temporary legislative measures and modified import conditions. Unlike the preceding sibling categories which deal with live animals, this category addresses a specific industrial chemical with specialized import regulations, reflecting its role in particular trade agreements or specific policy objectives.
Importers encountering this classification should be aware that the "99" chapter signifies a departure from routine tariff schedules. The inclusion of Lithium p-styrenesulfonate under this specific code suggests that its import may be subject to quotas, special licensing requirements, or specific documentation beyond standard customs declarations. Reference to subheading 2904.10.32 provides the underlying chemical classification, while 9902.01.98 denotes the current extraordinary treatment applied to this substance.
