9902.05.97 - N-[1-[(6-Chloropyridin-3-yl)methyl]-4,5-dihydroimidazol- 2-yl]nitramide (Imidacloprid) (CAS No. 138261-41-3) (provided for in subheading 2933.39.27)

This HTS classification, 9902.05.97, pertains to the temporary classification of N-[1-[(6-Chloropyridin-3-yl)methyl]-4,5-dihydroimidazol-2-yl]nitramide, commonly known as Imidacloprid. This specific compound, identified by CAS Number 138261-41-3, is a neonicotinoid insecticide. Its classification under Chapter 99 indicates it is subject to temporary legislation, modifications, or additional import restrictions, often proclaimed pursuant to trade agreements or Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.

As a temporary provision, this category is distinct from the standard HTS classifications found in earlier chapters. While its primary chemical structure would typically place Imidacloprid under subheading 2933.39.27 (other heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen hetero-atom(s) only), its inclusion in Chapter 99 signifies a specific regulatory treatment outside of its permanent chemical classification. Therefore, this category does not share direct siblings in the same manner as permanent HTS chapters; its "siblings" would be other temporary provisions within Chapter 99, each addressing different goods subject to unique trade or agricultural policies.

This node represents a specific, active ingredient used in pest control and is not intended for live animals, which are classified in Chapters 1 through 5. The purpose of this classification is to track and potentially restrict the import of this particular insecticide under specific trade circumstances, rather than to categorize a broad class of goods. Given this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories; all imports falling under this temporary provision are directly classified here.
