Overview
This HTS code, 9902.02.90, specifically classifies Bis(2,4-dichlorobenzoyl) peroxide, identified by CAS No. 133-14-2. This compound is an organic peroxide often utilized as a polymerization initiator or curing agent in the production of plastics and resins. Its inclusion within Chapter 99 signifies that it falls under temporary legislation or specific trade agreement provisions, indicating that its importation may be subject to special duties, quotas, or other restrictions beyond its standard classification under Chapter 29.
Given that this is a leaf node, there are no direct subcategories to explore. However, it is crucial to understand its relationship to its parent classification. While Bis(2,4-dichlorobenzoyl) peroxide is chemically classified under Chapter 29 (Organic Chemicals), specifically indicated as being "provided for in subheading 2916.39.79," this Chapter 99 code overrides or supplements that classification due to specific trade policy or temporary measures. Therefore, importers must consult the full text of the relevant trade agreement or Section 22 proclamation to determine the precise conditions of entry, which may include specific licensing, reporting, or tariff treatments not applicable under the standard Chapter 29 heading alone.
