Overview
This HTS classification, 9902.02.72, covers a specific chemical compound, (3-Bromo-6-methoxy-2-methylphenyl)(2,3,4-trimethoxy-6-methylphenyl)methanone, also known by its common name, Metrafenone. This designation is provided for under subheading 2914.79.90, indicating its primary classification within Chapter 29, which deals with organic chemicals. However, its placement within Chapter 99 signifies that it is subject to temporary legislation, trade agreement modifications, or additional import restrictions, often related to agricultural policy under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.
As a leaf node within Chapter 99, this category does not subdivide further. Its specificity lies in the unique chemical structure and CAS number of Metrafenone, ensuring precise identification for customs purposes. Unlike the broader categories found at the root level of the HTS database, such as live animals (e.g., horses, cattle, swine), this node focuses exclusively on a particular synthesized chemical with a defined industrial or agricultural application, which is why it is provisionally classified under the temporary provisions of Chapter 99.
