9902.02.70 - 1,5-Dichloro-9,10-anthraquinone (CAS No. 82-46-2) (provided for in subheading 2914.79.40)

This HTS classification, specifically 9902.02.70, designates 1,5-Dichloro-9,10-anthraquinone, identified by CAS Number 82-46-2. This particular compound is provided for within subheading 2914.79.40, indicating its primary classification as a derivative of anthraquinone. The presence of this code within Chapter 99 signifies that it is subject to temporary legislation, modifications related to trade agreements, or additional import restrictions enacted under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.

Unlike the vast array of other sibling categories in the HTS, which cover diverse goods from live animals to manufactured products under various chapters, this code is highly specific. It targets a singular chemical compound rather than a broad class of goods. Its placement within Chapter 99 clearly sets it apart from the general tariff provisions found in other chapters, highlighting its unique regulatory status.

As a leaf node, 9902.02.70 has no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under this code relies solely on the precise identification of 1,5-Dichloro-9,10-anthraquinone. Importers and customs brokers must ensure that the imported substance precisely matches the chemical name and CAS number to avoid misclassification. The primary classification basis remains its chemical identity as a substituted anthraquinone, with Chapter 99 dictating any special duties, quotas, or restrictions that may apply at the time of import.
