Overview
HTS code 9902.03.70 specifically designates m-Toluidine (CAS No. 108-44-1) for temporary classification purposes. This classification is not for general import/export of m-Toluidine under its primary chemical designation. Instead, it falls under Chapter 99, which pertains to temporary legislation, trade agreement modifications, and specific import restrictions under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. The reference to subheading 2921.43.90 indicates the primary chemical classification where m-Toluidine would typically reside in the absence of these temporary provisions.
This category stands apart from other entries in Chapter 99 and the broader HTS by its very specific focus on m-Toluidine and its application within the context of U.S. trade policy and agricultural adjustments. Unlike the vast array of goods found in Chapters 1 through 97, Chapter 99 codes are administrative or legislative in nature, imposing special conditions, duties, or restrictions. Therefore, 9902.03.70 is distinct from other temporary classifications due to the specific chemical compound it addresses and the particular legislative framework it operates within.
As a leaf node, HTS code 9902.03.70 does not have subcategories. Its purpose is singular: to manage the importation of m-Toluidine under the specific temporary rules outlined in Chapter 99. This means any importation of m-Toluidine, when subject to these temporary provisions, will be classified under this code, necessitating adherence to the associated regulations and duties, which supersede its standard tariff classification.
