9902.05.47 - O-(3-Chloro-4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl) O,O-diethyl phosphorothioate (Coumaphos) (CAS No. 56-72-4) (provided for in subheading 2932.20.10)

This HTS category, 9902.05.47, specifically covers O-(3-Chloro-4-methyl-2-oxo-2H-chromen-7-yl) O,O-diethyl phosphorothioate, commonly known as Coumaphos (CAS No. 56-72-4). It is important to note that while this is the HTS classification for administrative and temporary provisions, the underlying commodity is provided for under subheading 2932.20.10, which pertains to other heterocyclic compounds with an oxygen hetero-atom only. This provision under Chapter 99 is for temporary legislation and modifications, suggesting its use for specific import control or tariff treatments that may differ from the standard classification for the chemical itself.

Distinguishing this temporary provision from its siblings, which primarily consist of live animals in Chapter 01, is straightforward. Chapter 99, under which 9902.05.47 falls, is dedicated to temporary legislative measures, trade agreement modifications, and specific import restrictions, rather than the classification of goods by their inherent physical or material characteristics. Therefore, this entry is not comparable to the classification of livestock like horses, cattle, or poultry.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under HTS code 9902.05.47. The classification terminates at this specific provision, indicating a unique treatment for Coumaphos under temporary legislation or special trade measures. Understanding the basis of its inclusion in Chapter 99, which is typically for items subject to quotas, temporary duty adjustments, or specific import licensing requirements, is key to proper classification and compliance when dealing with this HTS entry.
