Overview
This HTS category, 9902.06.08, specifically covers 2-Acetylnicotinic acid, identified by CAS Number 89942-59-6. This classification falls under Chapter 99, which is designated for temporary legislation, temporary modifications related to trade agreements, and additional import restrictions enacted under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Therefore, goods classified here are subject to specific, and potentially time-limited, trade regulations beyond their standard tariff classification.
Unlike the preceding HTS categories which typically deal with live animals (e.g., horses, bovine animals, swine, sheep, goats, and poultry), this node pertains to a specific chemical compound. Its placement within Chapter 99 signifies that its importation is governed by special provisions, likely due to agricultural policy considerations or trade agreement adjustments, rather than its inherent physical characteristics as a commodity.
As a leaf node, 9902.06.08 does not have further subcategories. Its classification is precise and intended for the direct importation of 2-Acetylnicotinic acid. The parenthetical note "(provided for in subheading 2933.39.61)" indicates that this compound has a primary classification within Chapter 29 (Organic chemicals), but is being brought forward and potentially subjected to different or additional controls under this temporary HTS provision. Importers should be aware of both the Chapter 29 classification and the specific requirements associated with this Chapter 99 designation.
