Overview
This HTS category, 9902.02.02, specifically classifies Methanesulfonic acid, identified by CAS No. 75-75-2. This classification falls under Section XXII, which deals with Special Classification Provisions and Temporary Legislation. It indicates that while Methanesulfonic acid has a primary classification elsewhere within the HTS (specifically subheading 2904.10.50, which covers methanesulfonic acid and its salts), this particular 9902 code might be used for temporary modifications, trade agreement provisions, or restrictions related to agricultural adjustments as outlined in Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.
Given that this is a leaf node, it does not have further subcategories. Its purpose is to address specific regulatory treatments or temporary tariff measures applied to Methanesulfonic acid, rather than to broadly define a class of goods like the sibling categories such as live animals (Chapters 0101-0105) or other chemical compounds. Therefore, the focus for classification under this code is the specific chemical identity of Methanesulfonic acid and the applicability of the temporary legislative provisions it is assigned to.
