9902.05.18 - Methyl (1E)-N-[(methylcarbamoyl)oxy]ethanimidothioate (Methomyl) (CAS No. 16752-77-5) (provided for in subheading 2930.90.43)

This HTS category, 9902.05.18, specifically classifies Methomyl, a carbamate insecticide used for pest control. Its inclusion within Chapter 99 signifies its classification under temporary legislation or special provisions, distinct from the standard product classifications found in earlier chapters of the HTS. Methomyl is identified by its chemical name, Methyl (1E)-N-[(methylcarbamoyl)oxy]ethanimidothioate, and its unique CAS Registry Number (16752-77-5).

While numerous sibling categories at the HTS database root level cover a vast array of goods, from live animals to manufactured products, this specific entry focuses on a chemical compound with a designated agricultural or pest management purpose. Its unique placement underscores the need for specialized handling or reporting, often tied to import restrictions or trade agreement considerations. The reference to subheading 2930.90.43 indicates its principal classification as a chemical derivative, but its presence here highlights an additional layer of regulatory oversight.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, this category does not possess further subdivisions. Therefore, the classification of Methomyl under 9902.05.18 is definitive and does not branch into more specific subcategories. Importers and exporters should ensure that any shipments of Methomyl are accurately declared under this code to comply with the associated temporary legislation and any potential import requirements.
