Overview
This HTS classification, 9902.05.93, specifically covers [(3,5,6-Trichloro-2-pyridinyl)oxy]acetic acid, also known as Triclopyr. This chemical compound, identified by CAS No. 55335-06-3, is a herbicide used for controlling woody plants and broadleaf weeds. While its primary use is in agriculture and land management, it is important to note that this classification falls under Chapter 99, which pertains to temporary legislation, modifications to trade agreements, and specific import restrictions under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling categories within Chapter 99 is crucial for accurate reporting. While other categories in Chapter 99 might address temporary quotas, duties, or specific trade agreement impacts on various goods, 9902.05.93 is a precise, product-specific designation for Triclopyr, highlighting its particular regulatory treatment. This implies that Triclopyr, when imported, is subject to specific, often time-limited, measures not applied to general merchandise classified under other HTS chapters.
As this node is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification relies entirely on meeting the criteria for 9902.05.93. Importers should confirm that the imported substance is indeed [(3,5,6-Trichloro-2-pyridinyl)oxy]acetic acid (Triclopyr) and be aware of any accompanying documentation or restrictions associated with this temporary tariff provision, as it is provided for under subheading 2933.39.25 of the standard HTS, but subject to the additional controls of Chapter 99.
