9902.02.62 - p-Methylacetophenone (1-(4-Methylphenyl)ethanone) (CAS No. 122-00-9) (provided for in subheading 2914.39.90)

This HTS code, 9902.02.62, specifically covers p-Methylacetophenone, also known as 1-(4-Methylphenyl)ethanone. This is a specific organic chemical compound identified by its CAS Registry Number 122-00-9. Its classification within Chapter 99 signifies that it is subject to temporary legislation, temporary modifications proclaimed pursuant to trade agreements, or additional import restrictions proclaimed under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. This provision is intended for specific situations where the normal tariff treatment of this chemical needs to be temporarily adjusted due to policy considerations.

As a specific provision within Chapter 99, this code does not have direct siblings in the traditional sense of product categories like those found in Chapters 1-97. Instead, its sibling context is the broader range of temporary provisions within Chapter 99 itself. The primary distinction of this code lies in its precise identification of p-Methylacetophenone, differentiating it from other temporary measures that might apply to different chemical compounds or other classes of goods.

Since HTS code 9902.02.62 is a leaf node, it has no subcategories. The classification criteria for goods falling under this code are met when the imported product is indeed p-Methylacetophenone. The crucial element for correct classification is verifying that the imported chemical precisely matches the description and CAS number provided. It is important to note that this provision references subheading 2914.39.90, indicating that absent these temporary provisions, the chemical would normally be classified under that more general heading for aromatic ketones.
