Overview
This HTS code, 9902.02.13, pertains to a specific temporary import provision for 2-Propyn-1-ol, also known as propargyl alcohol (CAS No. 107-19-7). This chemical compound, a simple unsaturated alcohol, is provided for under subheading 2905.29.90 in the permanent tariff schedule. However, its inclusion within Chapter 99 signifies a special classification status, often related to temporary legislation, modifications under trade agreements, or specific import restrictions under agricultural adjustment acts.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings within the vast HTS database (which encompass live animals, agricultural products, manufactured goods, and more) is crucial. Chapter 99 codes are inherently distinct as they represent temporary or special provisions rather than the primary classification of goods. Therefore, 9902.02.13's relevance lies not in its intrinsic chemical properties as a propargyl alcohol, which would be classified elsewhere, but in the specific regulatory treatment it is currently subject to under these temporary measures.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 9902.02.13. The classification is definitive at this level, indicating that any import of 2-Propyn-1-ol subject to the specific provisions outlined in Chapter 99 will be handled under this particular HTS code. Importers must carefully consult the underlying regulations and proclamations associated with this code to ensure compliance.
