Overview
This HTS category, 9902.04.96, specifically covers Phenyl isocyanate (CAS No. 103-71-9). While its primary classification is within Chapter 29, specifically subheading 2929.10.80, its inclusion in Chapter 99 signifies a temporary modification or special provision related to its importation. This means that while the chemical itself falls under organic compounds, its presence here indicates potential temporary adjustments to tariffs, quotas, or other import regulations as dictated by trade agreements or specific legislative actions.
Distinguishing this category from its direct siblings, which begin with the numerical sequence 0101 and onward, is straightforward. Those sibling categories relate to live animals, such as horses, bovine animals, swine, sheep, goats, and poultry. In contrast, 9902.04.96 deals with a specific industrial chemical. The fundamental difference lies in the nature of the goods: living organisms versus a manufactured organic compound used in industrial processes.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories under 9902.04.96. This indicates that Phenyl isocyanate is classified directly at this specific level, meaning any further breakdown or specific treatment would be governed by the rules and notes associated with this particular provision within Chapter 99 and its underlying classification in Chapter 29. Classification at this level is crucial for accurately applying any temporary trade measures or special import restrictions that may be in effect for this chemical.
