Overview
This HTS category, 9902.02.64, specifically covers 2,4-Dihydroxybenzophenone, identified by CAS Number 131-56-6. While its primary chemical classification falls under subheading 2914.50.30 as a ketone derivative, this Chapter 99 provision indicates a temporary modification or specific import control for this particular chemical. This temporary status is established under Section XXII of the HTS, which pertains to special classification provisions, temporary legislation, and import restrictions enacted under trade agreements or specific legislation like Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.
Given that this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. The classification here is highly specific to the chemical compound 2,4-Dihydroxybenzophenone. Its distinction from sibling categories (such as various live animals in Chapter 01) lies in its nature as a synthetic organic chemical rather than a biological commodity. The primary purpose of this specific HTS code is to track or control imports of this compound, likely due to its application, potential regulatory considerations, or trade policy adjustments.
