Overview
This HTS category, 9902.04.59, specifically covers 1-Dodecylguanidine acetate, commonly known as Dodine (CAS No. 2439-10-3). This substance is a fungicide utilized in agriculture. Its classification within Chapter 99 indicates it is subject to temporary legislation or modifications, as outlined by specific trade agreements or Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. The note "(provided for in subheading 2925.19.91)" signifies its underlying classification in the permanent tariff schedule, which would typically fall under organic compounds.
Distinguishing this entry from its sibling categories, which primarily concern live animals, is straightforward. HTS Chapter 99, in general, deals with items subject to special customs treatment, often temporary in nature, and is entirely separate from the classification of live animals found in Chapter 01. Therefore, 9902.04.59 represents a chemical product with specific regulatory controls, not a live animal.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no subcategories under 9902.04.59. The classification is specific and final at this level. Any further subdivision would occur within its primary HTS classification (2925.19.91) or potentially through additional specific provisions within Chapter 99 if further trade agreements or legislative changes are enacted. Classification at this level relies on the definitive identification of the chemical compound as 1-Dodecylguanidine acetate and adherence to any proclaimed temporary restrictions or provisions.
