9902.03.56 - 2-Nitroaniline (CAS No. 88-74-4) (provided for in subheading 2921.42.55)

This HTS category, 9902.03.56, specifically covers 2-Nitroaniline, identified by its CAS Number 88-74-4. This substance is a nitro derivative of aniline and is typically a yellow crystalline solid. Its primary classification within the HTS is as a temporary modification or restriction, as indicated by its placement under Chapter 99, which pertains to temporary legislation and special provisions. The note "(provided for in subheading 2921.42.55)" directs users to the permanent classification of this chemical, which falls under organic compounds containing amine groups.

As a specific temporary provision, this HTS code distinguishes itself from the broad range of primary product categories found at higher levels of the HTS, such as live animals (Chapter 01) or live plants (Chapter 06), which represent fundamental trade goods. Within the Special Classification Provisions of Chapter 99, this code exists alongside other temporary measures, often related to quotas, duties, or import restrictions, rather than general product groupings. Its purpose is to manage the import of 2-Nitroaniline under specific trade policy objectives or legislative requirements, distinct from the fundamental classification of goods based on their inherent material composition or primary function.

Given that this is a leaf node, there are no subcategories within 9902.03.56. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise identification and control of 2-Nitroaniline as per the temporary legislation or proclamation that established this specific HTS code. Classification decisions for this item would therefore hinge on verifying that the imported product is indeed 2-Nitroaniline and ensuring compliance with any associated temporary requirements stipulated by this Chapter 99 provision.
