9902.03.08 - Methyl salicylate (CAS No. 119-36-8) (provided for in subheading 2918.23.20)

This HTS category, 9902.03.08, specifically covers Methyl salicylate (CAS No. 119-36-8) when provided for under Temporary Legislation or Special Classification Provisions. It is important to note that while Methyl salicylate is primarily classified under subheading 2918.23.20 based on its chemical properties, this specific 9900 series code indicates a temporary or special duty treatment. This implies that imports under this code are subject to specific regulations or modifications that may differ from its standard classification.

Given its position within Chapter 99, this category is distinct from the primary HTS classifications found in Chapters 1 through 97, which detail the standard classification of goods. Sibling categories within Chapter 99 would also represent temporary measures, trade agreement modifications, or additional import restrictions, but each would pertain to different specific goods or provisions. Therefore, 9902.03.08 is unique in its focus on Methyl salicylate under these exceptional circumstances.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 9902.03.08. The classification is specific to Methyl salicylate under the outlined temporary or special provisions. Any importation of Methyl salicylate should first be evaluated against its primary HTS classification (likely 2918.23.20) and then checked for any applicable temporary modifications or special provisions such as this one, which may alter duty rates or import requirements.
