Overview
This HTS category, 9902.06.07, specifically covers the chemical compound 2,3-Dichloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine, identified by CAS Number 69045-84-7. This classification falls under Chapter 99, which encompasses temporary legislation and special trade provisions. Importantly, while this compound is classified here, it is also provided for in subheading 2933.39.61, indicating a dual classification context that requires careful consideration of specific trade agreements or temporary import restrictions.
The primary function of this temporary classification is to apply specific trade measures or restrictions to this particular pyridine derivative. Unlike the primary categories under Chapter 01, which deal with live animals, or other chapters in the main HTS, Chapter 99 is reserved for special circumstances that may alter standard tariff treatment. Therefore, the distinction of 9902.06.07 lies not in its inherent chemical properties, which would place it under Chapter 29, but in the temporary legislative or trade policy adjustments made for its importation.
As this is a leaf node, there are no subcategories. The classification of 2,3-Dichloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine under 9902.06.07 signifies that any importation of this specific chemical will be subject to the rules and duties designated by this temporary provision, in addition to its principal classification under the relevant chemical chapter. Importers must be aware of both classifications to ensure compliance with all applicable customs regulations and trade policies.
