Overview
This HTS category, 9902.05.95, is specifically designated for Halauxifen-methyl (CAS No. 943831-98-9), a chemical compound classified under Chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Chapter 99 deals with temporary legislation, trade agreement modifications, and import restrictions enacted under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Therefore, this particular classification indicates a temporary or specific import regulation applied to Halauxifen-methyl, often related to its use as a herbicide active ingredient, distinct from its general classification under Chapter 29.
Unlike the main HTS chapters which classify goods based on their intrinsic nature and composition (e.g., Chapter 29 for organic chemicals), Chapter 99 subheadings represent specific, often time-limited, regulatory actions. While Halauxifen-methyl would ordinarily fall under subheading 2933.39.25 as a heterocyclic compound containing a nitrogen atom, its presence in Chapter 99 signifies a special provision. This means that importers must adhere to the specific conditions or restrictions associated with this temporary legislation when importing this substance, in addition to its standard classification criteria.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 9902.05.95. The classification is final and applies directly to the described compound. The purpose of this specific subheading is to allow for targeted control or modification of trade for Halauxifen-methyl, separate from broader chemical classifications. Importers are advised to consult relevant U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) rulings and regulations pertaining to Chapter 99 provisions to ensure full compliance.
