9902.02.32 - 2-Nitrophenol (o-nitrophenol) (CAS No. 88-75-5) (provided for in subheading 2908.99.25)

This HTS category, 9902.02.32, specifically covers 2-Nitrophenol, also known as ortho-nitrophenol, with CAS Number 88-75-5. It is important to note that this is a temporary or special classification provision and is provided for under the permanent tariff classification in subheading 2908.99.25. This means that while this temporary code exists, the underlying classification for this chemical is in Chapter 29, which deals with organic chemicals.

As a leaf node within Chapter 99, there are no further subdivisions under this specific HTS code. Its existence as a distinct entry signifies a temporary modification or a specific, potentially restricted, treatment for 2-Nitrophenol. When classifying this substance, the primary criterion is its chemical identity as 2-Nitrophenol. While siblings at the root level of the HTS database cover a vast array of goods from live animals to manufactured products, this category is exclusively dedicated to this particular organic compound.

The context of Chapter 99 indicates that this classification may be related to temporary legislation, trade agreement modifications, or specific import restrictions imposed under legislation like Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Therefore, importers and customs brokers must be aware that the standard classification under 2908.99.25 may be superseded or supplemented by the requirements and provisions associated with this Chapter 99 code. Examination of the specific temporary legislation or proclamation associated with this code is crucial for accurate import procedures.
