9902.05.06 - Dimethyl (1,2-phenylenedicarbamothioyl)biscarbamate (Thiophanate methyl) (CAS No. 23564-05-8) (provided for in subheading 2930.90.10)

This HTS category, HTS Code 9902.05.06, specifically covers the fungicide known as Dimethyl (1,2-phenylenedicarbamothioyl)biscarbamate, also commonly referred to as Thiophanate methyl, identified by CAS No. 23564-05-8. While its primary classification is found under subheading 2930.90.10, this particular entry within Chapter 99 signifies a temporary legislative or modification provision. Such entries are typically used to implement specific trade policy decisions, such as temporary tariff changes, import restrictions, or other special provisions related to trade agreements or agricultural adjustments.

Distinguishing this category from its numerous sibling categories within Chapter 99 is crucial. The vast majority of siblings at this level represent other temporary or special classification provisions, each addressing distinct trade policies or product groups under special circumstances. Unlike the substantive product headings found in earlier chapters (e.g., Chapter 01 for live animals), HTS 9902.05.06 is not defined by the physical characteristics or inherent nature of a commodity but by its inclusion in a temporary, non-permanent trade measure. Therefore, its scope is entirely dictated by the specific legislation or proclamation it implements, not by a broad product classification.

As a leaf node, HTS Code 9902.05.06 does not have further subcategories. This indicates that the specific provision for Thiophanate methyl under this temporary legislation is the most granular classification available within this particular chapter and section. Any further breakdown would occur under its primary classification in Chapter 29, which details its chemical structure and properties as an organic compound. For practical classification purposes, it is essential to consult the specific trade notice, proclamation, or legislation that established this HTS 9902 code to understand its precise application and any associated conditions or limitations.
