9902.02.14 - cis-3-Hexen-1-ol (CAS No. 928-96-1) (provided for in subheading 2905.29.90)

This HTS category, 9902.02.14, specifically covers cis-3-Hexen-1-ol, also known by its CAS number 928-96-1. This compound is an unsaturated primary alcohol commonly utilized in the flavor and fragrance industries due to its characteristic green, grassy aroma. Its classification within Chapter 99 signifies that it is subject to temporary legislative provisions or temporary modifications proclaimed pursuant to trade agreements, or it may be subject to additional import restrictions under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings within the broader HTS structure is crucial for accurate classification. While siblings at the root level, such as live animals (0101-0105), represent entirely different classes of goods with distinct biological and trade characteristics, 9902.02.14 resides within a special provision chapter. This means its primary distinction lies not in the inherent nature of the product itself, but rather in its *current regulatory status*. Unlike standard chemical classifications found in chapters like 29, this code indicates a specific, temporary trade measure applied to cis-3-Hexen-1-ol.

As a leaf node, 9902.02.14 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification guidance focuses on identifying the precise compound, cis-3-Hexen-1-ol (CAS No. 928-96-1), and recognizing that its import is governed by the specific temporary provisions or restrictions detailed under Chapter 9902. Importers must consult the latest regulations and proclamations associated with this code to ensure compliance, as these measures can change over time. The reference to subheading 2905.29.90 within its description serves to highlight its standard classification for chemical purposes when not subject to these special provisions.
