Overview
This HTS category, 9902.06.25, specifically covers (5-Chloro-8-quinolyloxy)acetic acid, also known by its common name Cloquintocet, and identified by CAS Number 88349-88-6. While the description indicates it is provided for under subheading 2933.49.60, this particular 9902 code signifies a temporary classification or modification. These chapters within Section XXII are reserved for temporary measures, including those related to trade agreements and additional import restrictions, rather than the permanent classification of goods based on their inherent nature.
Unlike the broad categories of live animals found in preceding chapters, or other goods which might be classified based on material composition or function, this entry pertains to a specific chemical compound subject to temporary tariff treatment. Its placement within Chapter 99 signifies that its import status and duty rates are subject to change based on specific governmental proclamations or temporary legislative actions, rather than standard HS nomenclature principles. Therefore, classification under this code necessitates a careful review of current trade regulations and any specific directives associated with this particular provision.
As a leaf node, 9902.06.25 does not have further subcategories. Its purpose is to track and apply specific, often temporary, tariff or restriction measures to Cloquintocet. Importers and customs brokers must consult the most recent official HTS publications and related legal notices to understand the precise duties, quotas, or other conditions applicable to this provision. The "provided for" reference to subheading 2933.49.60 suggests that the underlying chemical classification is under Chapter 29 (Organic Chemicals), but the 9902 code imposes an overlay of temporary legislation.
