9902.03.96 - 4-Methoxy-2-methyl-N-phenylaniline (CAS No. 41317-15-1) (provided for in subheading 2922.29.61)

This HTS classification, 9902.03.96, pertains to a specific organic chemical compound: 4-Methoxy-2-methyl-N-phenylaniline, also identified by its Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) number 41317-15-1. This designation falls under Section XXII of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, which encompasses special classification provisions, temporary legislation, and import restrictions. Specifically, this code is provided for under subheading 2922.29.61, indicating its primary classification within the broader chemical chapters, before being addressed by temporary or special provisions.

The primary function of this temporary or special classification code is to manage the importation of 4-Methoxy-2-methyl-N-phenylaniline, often due to specific trade agreements, temporary legislative measures, or import restrictions enacted under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. This is distinct from the general classification of similar chemical compounds that would reside within Chapter 29, which covers organic chemicals. The presence of this code in Chapter 99 signifies that its importation is subject to conditions or limitations beyond its basic chemical identification.

As this HTS code is a leaf node, it does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus remains on understanding the specific chemical entity and the reasons for its inclusion within the special provisions of Chapter 99. Importers and customs professionals should consult the notes and rulings associated with HTS code 9902.03.96 and its referenced primary subheading 2922.29.61, along with any associated trade agreements or regulatory proclamations, to ensure compliance with all applicable import requirements for this substance.
