Overview
This HTS category, 9902.02.65, specifically addresses 4-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)butan-2-one, commonly known as raspberry ketone. While the HTS system categorizes this substance under Chapter 99, indicating it falls under temporary legislation or special provisions, its primary classification for customs purposes is as a chemical compound provided for in subheading 2914.50.30. This designation highlights its nature as an organic ketone.
Unlike the broad categories of live animals and other agricultural products found at the root of the HTS, this specific entry focuses on a single, identifiable chemical compound. Its inclusion within Chapter 99 suggests that its importation may be subject to specific trade agreements, temporary modifications, or additional restrictions, which would be detailed in the accompanying notes to this chapter.
As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Therefore, classification into 9902.02.65 is definitive for raspberry ketone when imported under the specified conditions. Importers should confirm the current applicability of any temporary legislation or restrictions associated with this code by consulting the most recent HTSUS publication and relevant trade notices.
