Overview
This HTS classification, 9902.04.34, specifically covers Propoxur, a chemical compound identified by its chemical name 2-(1-methylethoxy)phenyl N-methylcarbamate and its CAS number 114-26-1. It is important to note that while this classification falls under Chapter 99, which deals with temporary legislation and modifications, the explicit reference to subheading 2924.29.47 indicates that Propoxur is also classified, under normal circumstances, within the chapter pertaining to organic chemicals, specifically cyclic amides. This dual classification highlights the dynamic nature of trade regulations and the potential for specific temporary provisions to supersede or modify standard tariff treatments.
As a leaf node within Chapter 99, there are no further subdivisions under this specific HTS code. Therefore, the primary focus for classification professionals is to ensure that the imported or exported product precisely matches the description of Propoxur and meets the criteria established by the temporary legislation under which it is currently provisioned. This classification is distinct from other entries within Chapter 99, which would address different temporary measures or specific goods subject to unique trade agreements or restrictions.
The inclusion of Propoxur under HTS 9902.04.34 signifies a specific, likely temporary, regulatory treatment dictated by trade agreements or Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. This provision is separate from the broader categories found in earlier chapters of the HTS, such as live animals or agricultural products, which are governed by different tariff schedules and regulatory frameworks. Understanding the underlying chemical nature and the purpose of its inclusion in Chapter 99 is crucial for accurate customs declarations and compliance.
