9902.05.04 - O-4-Bromo-2-chlorophenyl O-ethyl S-propyl phosphorothioate (Profenofos) (CAS 41198-08-7) (provided for in 2930.90.10)

This HTS category, 9902.05.04, covers the specific chemical compound O-4-Bromo-2-chlorophenyl O-ethyl S-propyl phosphorothioate, more commonly known as Profenofos, identified by CAS number 41198-08-7. This designation falls under the provisions of Chapter 99, which pertains to temporary legislation and modifications. The inclusion of "provided for in 2930.90.10" indicates that while Profenofos is classified here under temporary measures, its principal classification under the standard Harmonized System resides within the broader category of organosulfur compounds.

Distinguishing this category from its numerous siblings under Chapter 99 is straightforward: 9902.05.04 is uniquely defined by the specific chemical identity and CAS number of Profenofos. Unlike the more general or broad headings found elsewhere in Chapter 99, which might relate to temporary tariff rates or quotas on various goods, this node is exceptionally precise. Its purpose is to manage the import of this particular pesticidal chemical, likely due to specific regulatory, trade agreement, or temporary legislative actions affecting its importation.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification process for goods falling under 9902.05.04 is concluded at this level. Importers and customs officials will rely on the precise identification of Profenofos, its CAS number, and the specific conditions outlined within Chapter 99 to ensure accurate and compliant declaration for customs purposes.
