9902.02.86 - 2-Methylbiphenyl-3-ylmethyl (1RS,3RS)-3-[(Z)-2-chloro- 3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-enyl]-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecar- boxylate (Bifenthrin) (CAS No. 82657-04-3) (provided for in subheading 2916.20.50)

This classification, HTS Code 9902.02.86, pertains to Bifenthrin (CAS No. 82657-04-3), a specific chemical compound identified as 2-Methylbiphenyl-3-ylmethyl (1RS,3RS)-3-[(Z)-2-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoroprop-1-enyl]-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate. Its inclusion under Chapter 99 signifies temporary legislation and potential import restrictions, often related to agricultural or trade policy under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. While the primary chemical classification for Bifenthrin would typically fall under subheading 2916.20.50, this 9902 code indicates a specific, temporary tariff treatment or regulatory control.

Distinguishing this node from its siblings within the broader HTS structure is crucial for accurate classification. The sibling categories listed (e.g., live animals) are entirely unrelated in terms of product type and classification principles. Unlike those categories that focus on biological organisms, HTS 9902.02.86 deals with a defined synthetic chemical product. The fundamental difference lies in the material composition and intended use; Bifenthrin is an insecticide, whereas the agricultural siblings cover livestock.

As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification of Bifenthrin under this specific 9902 code is final at this level, implying that further subdivision based on chemical properties or specific formulations is not applicable for the purposes of this temporary legislation. Any import of Bifenthrin subject to these provisions would be directly classified here, triggering the specific duties, restrictions, or reporting requirements associated with this 9902 entry.
