Overview
This HTS code, 9902.02.69, specifically classifies 1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethylpentan-3-one, also known by its CAS number 66346-01-8 and described as an alkylketone. This classification falls under Chapter 99, which pertains to temporary legislation, modifications proclaimed pursuant to trade agreements, and additional import restrictions implemented under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. The inclusion of this specific chemical compound under this chapter indicates that its import is subject to special provisions, likely related to agricultural programs or international trade agreements that impose specific controls or duties beyond the standard tariff classifications found in Chapters 1 through 98.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings within Chapter 99 requires an understanding of the specific nature of the temporary legislation or restrictions each subheading represents. While other subheadings within Chapter 99 might address different agricultural commodities, manufactured goods subject to temporary duties, or specific trade agreement concessions, 9902.02.69 is uniquely tied to the import of this particular chemical. The "provided for in subheading 2914.79.40" note within its description is crucial, indicating that while the chemical itself is generally classified under heading 2914 (ketones and aldehydes, cyclic and acyclic), its import under these special provisions triggers the application of the Chapter 99 rules.
As this node is a leaf node, there are no subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on whether the imported product precisely matches the description of 1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethylpentan-3-one and is intended for import under the conditions governed by the temporary legislation outlined in Chapter 99. Importers must ensure that their shipment aligns with the purpose or restriction for which this specific code was established, often requiring supporting documentation to verify compliance.
