Overview
This HTS category, 9902.02.92, specifically covers Dimethyl oxalate (CAS No. 553-90-2). It is important to note that this classification is for temporary purposes, as indicated by its placement within Chapter 99, and is provided for under the more permanent classification of subheading 2917.11.00. This means that while dimethyl oxalate falls under this temporary provision, its primary classification is as an organic chemical compound.
Unlike the numerous sibling categories in Chapter 01, which deal with live animals, or other chapters focused on raw materials, finished goods, or machinery, this node is highly specific. It isolates a particular chemical substance, Dimethyl oxalate, for a temporary or special tariff treatment. The distinction lies in its chemical identity and its purpose within this chapter, which often relates to trade agreements, temporary import restrictions, or other specific legislative mandates, rather than a broad product group.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 9902.02.92. Classification under this heading requires a direct identification of the imported good as Dimethyl oxalate. The presence of the CAS number further aids in unambiguous identification. Importers must refer to the underlying primary HTS classification (2917.11.00) for the standard tariff treatment and consult the regulations associated with Chapter 99 to understand the specific conditions or restrictions applicable to this temporary provision.
