9902.05.55 - (RS)-2-Ethoxy-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethylbenzofuran-5-yl methanesulfonate (Ethofumesate) (CAS No. 26225-79-6) (provided for in subheading 2932.99.08)

This HTS category, 9902.05.55, specifically covers (RS)-2-Ethoxy-2,3-dihydro-3,3-dimethylbenzofuran-5-yl methanesulfonate, more commonly known as Ethofumesate. This chemical compound is provided for in subheading 2932.99.08 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Its inclusion within Chapter 99 signifies its classification under temporary legislation or special provisions, often related to specific trade agreements, temporary modifications, or import restrictions implemented under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.

Given that this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. The classification at this level is definitive for Ethofumesate when imported under the specific provisions outlined in Chapter 99. Its distinction from sibling categories, which represent a wide array of live animals and other broad classifications under Chapter 01, lies in its nature as a specific chemical substance subject to specialized trade and regulatory treatment rather than general agricultural or animal trade. The purpose of this specific HTS code is to track and potentially regulate the import of this particular chemical, likely due to its agricultural use as a herbicide or its classification under temporary trade measures.
