Overview
This HTS code, 9902.05.94, pertains to a specific temporary or additional import restriction related to Fluroxypyr-meptyl, a chemical compound identified by CAS No. 81406-37-3. Its classification within Chapter 99 indicates it falls under temporary legislation, modifications proclaimed pursuant to trade agreements, or additional import restrictions implemented under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. The parenthetical note "(provided for in subheading 2933.39.25)" is crucial, directing users to the permanent HTS classification for this chemical, likely within Chapter 29 (Organic Chemicals), subheading 2933.39 (Other compounds containing a pyridine ring, not further fused), specifically 2933.39.25 (Other).
Unlike the broad, general classifications found in earlier chapters of the HTS (e.g., Chapter 01 covering live animals), this category addresses a highly specific chemical compound subject to specialized import regulations. The existence of a 99xx code signifies that the import of Fluroxypyr-meptyl is currently governed by measures that supplement or modify the standard tariff provisions. Therefore, importers must consult not only the permanent classification but also any relevant proclamations or legislative actions associated with this 9902 code to determine the full scope of duties, quotas, or other import requirements.
As a leaf node, HTS code 9902.05.94 does not have further subcategories. This indicates that the restriction or provision it represents applies directly to the specified chemical. Any importer dealing with Fluroxypyr-meptyl must meticulously examine the conditions under which this 9902 code is active and the precise nature of the temporary measure it represents, in conjunction with its permanent classification under 2933.39.25, to ensure compliance with all applicable U.S. customs regulations.
