9902.05.07 - 2-Chloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)-3-((2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)methyl) benzoic acid (CAS No. 120100-77-8) (provided for in subheading 2930.90.29)

This HTS category, 9902.05.07, specifically classifies 2-Chloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)-3-((2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)methyl) benzoic acid, identified by CAS Number 120100-77-8. This chemical compound is a specific, complex organic acid. Its classification within Chapter 99 signifies that it is subject to temporary legislation, modifications under trade agreements, or additional import restrictions imposed pursuant to Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. This implies that its importation may be subject to quotas, duties, or other specific requirements beyond standard tariff classifications.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings at the HTS Database Root level, such as those covering live animals (Chapters 0101-0105), is crucial. Unlike general categories for commodities or raw materials, this node is highly specific, detailing a single chemical substance with a particular CAS number. Its placement within Chapter 99, rather than a more general chemical chapter (like Chapter 29 which is referenced for its primary classification), highlights its unique regulatory status.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no subcategories to introduce. The classification is final at this level, meaning that any import of 2-Chloro-4-(methylsulfonyl)-3-((2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)methyl) benzoic acid will fall directly under this specific code. Importers must ensure that the goods precisely match the chemical name and CAS number to correctly apply this classification and adhere to any associated temporary or additional import restrictions.
