Therefore, when encountering 3-Pentanone (Diethyl ketone) for import, it is crucial to consult this specific HTS code within Chapter 99 to ascertain any applicable temporary duties, quotas, or other trade-related requirements that may be in effect, rather than solely relying on its permanent classification under Chapter 29.
