Overview
This HTS category, 9902.05.02, specifically covers O,O-Dimethyl S-phthalimidomethyl phosphorodithioate, commonly known as Phosmet (CAS No. 732-11-6). Phosmet is an organophosphate insecticide and acaricide used primarily in agriculture for crop protection and also in veterinary medicine. Its inclusion under Chapter 99 signifies that it is subject to temporary legislation or modifications, and its primary classification is provided for in subheading 2930.90.10, indicating its nature as an organo-sulfur compound.
As a specific provision within Chapter 99, this code is distinct from the broader agricultural or chemical classifications found in other HTS chapters. While other categories might cover general insecticides or agricultural chemicals, 9902.05.02 is reserved for this particular compound, Phosmet, and any associated temporary trade or regulatory measures applied to it. The presence of the "99" code prefix highlights its status as a temporary or special provision rather than a permanent classification.
Since this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to explore. Classification under 9902.05.02 will depend on the importer meeting the specific criteria or conditions stipulated by the temporary legislation or trade agreement provisions under which this code is established. Importers should verify current regulations and requirements applicable to Phosmet when utilizing this classification.
