Overview
This HTS category, 9902.04.37, is a specific provision within Chapter 99, which deals with temporary legislation and special trade provisions. It covers the fungicide known as Zoxamide, scientifically identified as (RS)-3,5-dichloro-N-(3-chloro-1-ethyl-1-methyl-2-oxopropyl)-p-toluamide. Its inclusion here indicates that its importation is subject to specific, potentially temporary, restrictions or provisions enacted under trade agreements or Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.
Unlike the primary chapters of the HTS which classify goods based on their inherent nature and origin (e.g., live animals in Chapter 01), this Chapter 99 code signifies a deviation from standard classification due to policy considerations. While other subheadings within Chapter 29 of the HTS would typically classify organic chemicals, the explicit reference to "provided for in subheading 2924.29.47" highlights that Zoxamide is being classified under a special provision, likely due to import quotas, duties, or specific import licenses that may apply.
As a leaf node, this category does not have further subcategories. Its purpose is to identify Zoxamide for the application of specific import controls. When classifying this product, it is crucial to acknowledge that while it is chemically described, its primary classification driver here is the special trade provision it falls under, superseding its standard chemical classification for the purpose of import regulation.
