9902.04.69 - Butyl (2R)-2-[4-(4-cyano-2-fluorophenoxy)phenoxy]propanoate (Cyhalofop-butyl) (CAS No. 122008-85-9) (provided for in subheading 2926.90.25)

This HTS category, 9902.04.69, covers a specific herbicide, butyl (2R)-2-[4-(4-cyano-2-fluorophenoxy)phenoxy]propanoate, also known as Cyhalofop-butyl (CAS No. 122008-85-9). Its inclusion in Chapter 99 signifies that it is subject to temporary legislation or specific import restrictions, often related to agricultural programs or trade agreements, and is provided for under the more general classification of subheading 2926.90.25. This temporary classification is distinct from the permanent classifications found in earlier chapters that deal with broader categories of goods.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings within Chapter 99, which typically covers a wide array of temporary or restricted import items, is its precise chemical identity as a particular agricultural chemical. While other entries in Chapter 99 might pertain to temporary tariff rates on various goods or specific quotas, this sub-item is defined by the chemical structure and common name of Cyhalofop-butyl, indicating a targeted regulatory measure for this specific compound.

As a leaf node within the HTS database, HTS 9902.04.69 does not have further subcategories. This means that once an imported product is identified as Cyhalofop-butyl and meets the criteria for this temporary provision, it is directly classified under this code. Classification professionals must therefore focus on accurately identifying the substance and confirming its presence within the scope of the temporary legislation or modification associated with this HTS number.
