9902.04.36 - Methyl N-(2-methoxyacetyl)-N-(2,6-xylyl)-DL-alaninate (Metalaxyl)(CAS No. 57837-19-1) (provided for in subheading 2924.29.47)

This HTS category, 9902.04.36, is specifically designated for Methyl N-(2-methoxyacetyl)-N-(2,6-xylyl)-DL-alaninate, more commonly known as Metalaxyl. This classification falls under Chapter 99, which pertains to temporary legislation, temporary modifications proclaimed pursuant to trade agreements, and additional import restrictions imposed under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. The inclusion of the CAS number (57837-19-1) and the reference to its base classification under subheading 2924.29.47 highlight that this is a specific, temporary provision for a particular chemical compound.

Given its position within Chapter 99, this category serves as a temporary special provision. It does not directly represent a broad product group like the live animal categories (0101-0105) that appear as siblings at the highest level. Instead, it addresses a singular chemical substance that may be subject to specific import limitations, duties, or requirements that are not reflected in the permanent tariff structure. The purpose of such temporary classifications is to manage the import of certain goods for policy, economic, or regulatory reasons.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within HTS 9902.04.36. Its sole purpose is to provide a distinct classification for Metalaxyl under the specified temporary legislation. This ensures that any specific trade agreement provisions, quotas, or additional duties applicable to this particular chemical can be precisely applied and monitored by customs authorities.
