9902.02.87 - Benzoyl chloride (CAS No. 98-88-4) (provided for in subheading 2916.32.20)

This HTS category, 9902.02.87, specifically covers Benzoyl chloride, identified by CAS Number 98-88-4. While its primary classification resides within Chapter 29, under subheading 2916.32.20, its inclusion in Chapter 99 signifies a temporary legislative or modification measure. This distinct chapter is reserved for temporary import restrictions or modifications proclaimed under specific trade agreements or section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.

Unlike the broader categories found in earlier chapters of the HTS, which typically classify goods based on their inherent nature, material, or primary function (e.g., live animals in Chapter 01), this node exists within a framework of special provisions. Its siblings within Chapter 99 would represent other, distinct temporary measures or restrictions, not direct alternatives for Benzoyl chloride. The classification here is driven by the administrative or legislative treatment applied to the good, rather than its fundamental commodity classification.

As a leaf node, HTS 9902.02.87 does not have further subdivisions. Its purpose is to flag Benzoyl chloride for a specific, temporary customs treatment. Any goods falling under this classification must adhere to the temporary provisions outlined by the relevant trade legislation or proclamation that established this specific HTS code. This ensures that imported Benzoyl chloride is subject to the designated administrative requirements, duties, or restrictions beyond its standard tariff classification.
