9902.02.29 - 2,5-Bis(2-methyl-2-butanyl)-1,4-benzenediol (CAS No. 79-74-3) (provided for in subheading 2907.29.90)

This specific HTS classification, 9902.02.29, pertains to 2,5-Bis(2-methyl-2-butanyl)-1,4-benzenediol, identified by CAS No. 79-74-3. This substance is designated for temporary classification under Chapter 99, which houses special provisions for temporary legislation, modifications related to trade agreements, and restrictions under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. While its primary classification is provided for under subheading 2907.29.90, indicating its nature as a phenol derivative, its presence in Chapter 99 signifies specific, likely temporary, import conditions or duties that differ from its general chemical classification.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling categories within the HTS Database Root (e.g., live animals like horses, bovine animals, swine, sheep, goats, and poultry) is straightforward. Unlike the direct enumeration of live animal species found in Chapters 01, this node falls under Section XXII, which deals with specialized trade policies and temporary measures, rather than the fundamental classification of distinct merchandise categories. The siblings represent broad, foundational groupings of goods, whereas this node points to a very specific chemical compound subject to unique regulatory or tariff treatments.

As this node is a leaf node, it does not possess subcategories. The detailed description of 2,5-Bis(2-methyl-2-butanyl)-1,4-benzenediol and its CAS number already defines the precise scope of this classification. Classification decisions for this item would therefore rely on confirming the identity of the imported substance and ensuring compliance with any specific requirements or duties mandated by the temporary provisions of Chapter 99 associated with this particular HTS code.
