This chemical compound is provided for in subheading 2932.99.08 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule.

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.
