Overview
This HTS category, 9902.02.60, specifically covers Benzophenone (CAS No. 119-61-9). It is important to note that while this HTS code falls within Chapter 99, which deals with temporary legislation and special provisions, the description explicitly references its primary classification within subheading 2914.39.90. This indicates that Benzophenone is generally classified as an organic ketone under Chapter 29, but this specific 9900 series code may be applied under certain temporary or special import circumstances.
Unlike sibling categories in Chapter 99, which often relate to specific trade agreements, temporary duties, or quotas on broader classes of goods, this entry is highly specific. It pertains to a single chemical compound. Its differentiation from other Chapter 99 entries lies in its precise chemical identity and its connection to a pre-existing classification under Chapter 29, suggesting it is subject to unique treatment rather than general temporary measures.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 9902.02.60. Classification under this code requires confirmation of the imported substance being Benzophenone (CAS No. 119-61-9) and adherence to any specific documentation or conditions mandated by the temporary legislation or special provision under which it is being entered. Importers should always consult the most current HTS provisions and relevant legal notes to ensure accurate classification.
