Overview
This HTS category, 9902.02.36, specifically addresses the importation of 1-Methoxy-2,4-dinitrobenzene, also known as 2,4-Dinitroanisole (CAS No. 119-27-7). This compound is a dinitro derivative of anisole, often utilized as an intermediate in chemical synthesis. Its classification within Chapter 99 signifies that it falls under special provisions, often related to temporary legislation or trade agreement modifications, rather than standard commodity classifications found in Chapters 1-97.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling categories at the root level is straightforward. The sibling categories listed are primarily concerned with live animals (horses, bovine, swine, sheep, goats, poultry). In contrast, 9902.02.36 pertains to a specific organic chemical compound, highlighting the broad scope of the HTS system which encompasses both biological and chemical goods, as well as the specialized nature of Chapter 99 entries.
As a leaf node, HTS code 9902.02.36 does not have further subcategories. The provided description and its reference to subheading 2909.30.60 indicate that it is a specific instance of a temporary provision or restriction applied to a chemical already covered under the standard HTS framework. Importers must ensure adherence to any specific declarations, licenses, or quotas associated with this temporary classification when importing 2,4-Dinitroanisole.
