9902.02.21 - 2-Phenylphenol (CAS No. 90-43-7) (provided for in subheading 2907.19.80)

This HTS code, 9902.02.21, specifically designates 2-Phenylphenol (CAS No. 90-43-7) for import into the United States. It is important to note that while this compound has a primary classification under Chapter 29, specifically within subheading 2907.19.80, this Chapter 99 entry imposes a temporary or specialized provision. This suggests that its import may be subject to specific quantitative restrictions, duties, or other conditions that deviate from its standard tariff treatment.

Chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule is reserved for temporary legislation, modifications to trade agreements, and specific import restrictions proclaimed under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Therefore, goods classified under 9902.02.21 are distinct from the vast majority of other HTS entries that fall under Chapters 1 through 98. Unlike siblings found in the initial chapters, which classify broad categories of goods like live animals or agricultural products, this entry addresses a very specific chemical compound and its unique regulatory status.

As 9902.02.21 is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under this specific HTS code. The classification is definitive for 2-Phenylphenol when imported under the terms of this particular provision. Importers and customs brokers should consult the relevant proclamations and regulations associated with this Chapter 99 subheading to fully understand any applicable requirements, quotas, or special duty rates beyond its standard classification under Chapter 29.
