Overview
This HTS category, 9902.02.53, specifically classifies p-(Trifluoromethyl)benzaldehyde, identified by CAS No. 455-19-6. This compound is a chemical intermediate used in various synthetic processes, and its inclusion within Chapter 99 signifies a special or temporary classification provision. It is important to note that while this specific subheading is provided for under subheading 2913.00.40, its current placement in Chapter 99 indicates it is subject to specific import regulations or temporary modifications.
As a leaf node within the HTS, this category does not have further subdivisions. Its distinctness from sibling categories within Chapter 99, which generally encompass a wide range of temporary legislation and trade agreement modifications, lies in its precise chemical identity and the specific provision being applied. Unlike the broad categories of live animals or other general tariff items found at higher levels of the HTS, 9902.02.53 pertains to a singular, precisely defined chemical substance. Its classification is driven by its unique chemical structure and its designation under special import measures.
