Overview
This HTS classification, 9902.02.61, specifically designates "5-Chloro-1-indanone (CAS No. 42348-86-7)" for temporary provisions, as indicated by its placement within Chapter 99. This chapter is reserved for temporary legislation, modifications to trade agreements, and additional import restrictions enacted under specific legislative authorities. While the underlying chemical compound itself would typically be classified under Chapter 29 (Organic Chemicals), its presence here signifies a special import status or restriction.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, which are largely composed of live animals and other primary agricultural commodities under Chapters 1 through 28, is crucial. HTS Chapter 99 operates as a parallel classification system, overlaying specific policy-driven treatments onto goods that might otherwise fall into distinct chapters based on their inherent nature. Therefore, 9902.02.61 is not differentiated by the physical characteristics of the chemical itself, but rather by the temporary regulatory framework it is subjected to.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 9902.02.61. The classification is precise and directly applies to 5-Chloro-1-indanone under the specific temporary measures indicated. Any importer or exporter dealing with this substance must consult the associated temporary legislation or proclamations that provide for its treatment under this subheading to understand any applicable duties, quotas, or other restrictions. The CAS number provided serves as a definitive identifier for this specific chemical entity.
