9902.04.71 - (S)-α-Cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl (1R,3R)-3- (2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate (Deltamethrin) (CAS No. 52918-63-5) (provided for in subheading 2926.90.30)

This HTS category, 9902.04.71, specifically covers Deltamethrin, a synthetic pyrethroid insecticide. Its unique chemical structure, (S)-α-Cyano-3-phenoxybenzyl (1R,3R)-3-(2,2-dibromovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylate, is its defining characteristic. While the broader Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) classifies chemicals and insecticides under various chapters (such as Chapter 29 for organic chemicals, where Deltamethrin is provided for in subheading 2926.90.30), this specific entry within Chapter 99 is designated for temporary legislation and additional import restrictions.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, which represent a vast array of agricultural and live animal products, is crucial. Unlike the direct import of live animals or raw agricultural commodities found in earlier chapters, 9902.04.71 pertains to a highly specific, processed chemical compound with defined pest control applications. Its presence within Section XXII signifies a temporary or regulated status, often related to trade agreements or specific agricultural protection measures, rather than its inherent material composition which is addressed in other chapters.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 9902.04.71 relies entirely on the precise identification of Deltamethrin as described, taking into account any specific rulings or regulations associated with this temporary provision. Importers must ensure that the product precisely matches the chemical name and CAS number provided, and be aware of any associated documentation or conditions required by the temporary legislation under which it is classified.
