Overview
This HTS category, specifically 9902.04.87, pertains to Cyflufenamid (CAS No. 180409-60-3), a chemical compound identified as (1Z)-N-{(Z)-[(Cyclopropylmethoxy)imino][2,3-difluoro-6-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methyl}-2-phenylethanimidic acid. The crucial context for this classification lies within Chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, which covers temporary legislation, temporary modifications proclaimed pursuant to trade agreements, and additional import restrictions proclaimed pursuant to Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Therefore, goods classified here are subject to specific temporary measures rather than standard tariff treatments.
This classification is distinct from the sibling categories, which primarily cover live animals (Chapters 01), meat and edible meat offal (Chapter 02), dairy products (Chapter 04), and other agricultural products. While those categories are based on the inherent nature and primary use of raw or minimally processed goods, 9902.04.87 deals with a specific, chemically defined synthetic compound that is already provided for under subheading 2928.00.25. The inclusion in Chapter 99 signifies that its import is subject to additional, temporary regulatory oversight or restrictions beyond its initial chemical classification.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 9902.04.87. The classification itself represents a specific, final designation for Cyflufenamid under the temporary provisions of Chapter 99. Any further subdivision would typically occur at the subheading level within Chapter 29, or potentially within other chapters if the compound were to be incorporated into a specific product subject to other temporary measures. The practical implication is that importers must consult the full text of the relevant temporary legislation or proclamations associated with Chapter 99 to understand the precise conditions and any specific requirements applicable to the importation of Cyflufenamid.
