9902.06.19 - 2-Methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine (CAS No. 219715-34-1) (provided for in subheading 2933.39.61)

This HTS code, 9902.06.19, classifies a specific chemical compound: 2-Methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine, identified by CAS Number 219715-34-1. This classification falls under Chapter 99, which is reserved for temporary legislation, temporary modifications to trade agreements, and additional import restrictions, particularly those proclaimed under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. The underlying chemical itself is provided for under subheading 2933.39.61, indicating its primary classification as a heterocyclic compound containing a nitrogen atom.

The purpose of this temporary classification within Chapter 99 is to impose specific duties or restrictions on this particular pyridine derivative, separate from its general classification under Chapter 29. This means that while its fundamental chemical properties would place it in Chapter 29, its import into the United States is subject to the specific provisions and conditions outlined in Chapter 99. The distinction from other Chapter 99 entries, and indeed from the broad range of sibling categories under Chapter 99, lies in the precise identification of this single chemical substance and the specific trade policy or restriction it is intended to address.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 9902.06.19. Consequently, the classification process for this item ends at this level. Importers must ensure that the physical importation of 2-Methoxy-4-(trifluoromethyl)pyridine strictly adheres to any regulations, quotas, or tariffs stipulated by the temporary legislation associated with this Chapter 99 provision, in addition to any general import requirements for chemical substances.
