9902.04.02 - 4-Amino-5-methoxy-2-methylbenzenesulfonic acid (CAS No. 6471-78-9) (provided for in 2922.29.81)

This HTS code, 9902.04.02, specifically designates 4-Amino-5-methoxy-2-methylbenzenesulfonic acid, identified by CAS No. 6471-78-9, for special classification provisions. Its inclusion within Chapter 99 signifies that it falls under temporary legislation, temporary modifications proclaimed pursuant to trade agreements, or additional import restrictions enacted under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Crucially, this entry is "provided for in 2922.29.81," indicating that while this special classification applies, the underlying nature of the chemical is already addressed within the general chemical chapters of the HTS.

Distinguishing this code from its siblings, which generally cover live animals and a vast array of other goods within the broader HTS structure, is straightforward. Chapter 99 is dedicated to unique circumstances and specific regulatory overlays, rather than the inherent classification of goods based on material or function. Therefore, 9902.04.02 does not compete with categories for primary agricultural products or manufactured goods but rather applies a specialized import treatment to a particular chemical compound.

As a leaf node, this classification has no further subcategories. The import process for 4-Amino-5-methoxy-2-methylbenzenesulfonic acid under this code will be dictated by the specific provisions and requirements outlined by the relevant trade legislation or proclamations that led to its inclusion in Chapter 99, in conjunction with the primary classification found in 2922.29.81. Importers must consult the specific legal texts and any accompanying notes for Chapter 99 to fully understand the compliance obligations.
