9902.05.81 - 2-Chloro-N-(4'-chloro-biphenyl-2-yl)-nicotinamide (Boscalid) (CAS No. 188425-85-6) (provided for in subheading 2933.39.21)

This HTS classification, 9902.05.81, specifically covers the fungicide 2-Chloro-N-(4'-chloro-biphenyl-2-yl)-nicotinamide, also known by its common name, Boscalid. Its inclusion within Chapter 99 signifies its status as a temporary legislative provision or a modification related to trade agreements or import restrictions. While the parent chapter encompasses a broad range of temporary measures, this specific code pinpoints a particular chemical substance used in agriculture.

Distinguishing this code from its sibling categories within the broader HTS structure is crucial. Sibling categories, such as those for live animals or other distinct product groups, would have entirely different tariff codes and classification criteria. This node, however, is nested under Section XXII, which deals with special classification provisions and temporary legislation. Therefore, its siblings at the same level within Chapter 99 would also be temporary measures, but likely pertaining to different goods, trade policies, or specific import conditions, rather than a specific fungicidal compound.

As a leaf node, HTS code 9902.05.81 has no further subcategories. This means that any importation of Boscalid that falls under this specific classification will be directly classified here, rather than being broken down into more granular categories. The classification is directly linked to its CAS number and its primary use as a fungicide, as indicated by its reference to a more permanent classification in subheading 2933.39.21. This allows for precise tracking and application of any temporary tariffs, quotas, or other restrictions associated with this chemical under specific trade circumstances.
