9902.04.13 - Sodium 3-[(2-carboxyethyl)(dodecyl)amino]propanoate (CAS No. 14960-06-6) (provided for in subheading 2922.49.80)

This HTS category, 9902.04.13, specifically classifies Sodium 3-[(2-carboxyethyl)(dodecyl)amino]propanoate, identified by CAS No. 14960-06-6. This chemical compound is provided for under subheading 2922.49.80, indicating it is a provision within the broader framework of temporary legislation and trade agreement modifications. Its inclusion in Chapter 99 signifies its role in addressing specific import restrictions or temporary tariff treatments enacted under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.

As this is a leaf node within Chapter 99, there are no further subdivisions under this specific code. Therefore, the distinction from sibling categories at the same level is crucial. Unlike the vast array of general merchandise and commodity classifications found in Chapters 01 through 98, Chapter 99 is reserved for temporary and special provisions. This means that 9902.04.13 is not comparable to typical commodity classifications like live animals (Chapters 01) or manufactured goods, but rather functions as a unique identifier for a chemical substance subject to specific, temporary import regulations. The classification focuses on the chemical identity and the regulatory context under which it is imported.
