9902.04.78 - α-Cyano-3-phenoxyphenyl 2,2,3,3-tetramethylcyclopropanecarboxylate (Fenpropathrin) (CAS No. 39515-41-8) (provided in subheading 2926.90.30)

This HTS code, 9902.04.78, falls under Chapter 99, which is reserved for temporary legislation, modifications pursuant to trade agreements, and additional import restrictions under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Specifically, this subheading covers the insecticide Fenpropathrin (α-Cyano-3-phenoxyphenyl 2,2,3,3-tetramethylcyclopropanecarboxylate), identified by CAS No. 39515-41-8. While Fenpropathrin is also classified under heading 2926.90.30 for its chemical properties, its inclusion in Chapter 99 signifies specific import controls or duties that are temporarily in effect.

Distinguishing this node from its siblings within Chapter 99 requires understanding the nature of temporary legislative actions. Unlike broader categories that might cover general trade agreements or other agricultural adjustments, 9902.04.78 is highly specific to Fenpropathrin. This means that while other Chapter 99 subheadings might address different temporary measures, this one directly targets this particular chemical compound, likely due to its agricultural application or potential impact on domestic production.

As a leaf node within the HTS database, subheading 9902.04.78 has no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under this code is definitive for shipments of Fenpropathrin when subject to the temporary provisions of Chapter 99. Importers must be aware that this classification signifies a specific regulatory status beyond its standard chemical classification, potentially involving quotas, special tariffs, or specific licensing requirements.
