Overview
This HTS category, 9902.06.30, specifically covers Azoxystrobin (CAS No. 131860-33-8), identified by its chemical name Methyl (2E)-2-(2-{[6-(2-cyanophenoxy)pyrimidin-4-yl]oxy}phenyl)-3-methoxyacrylate. This classification falls under Chapter 99, which denotes temporary legislation and special provisions. While the general HTS structure categorizes goods based on their inherent characteristics and primary function, this particular subheading is reserved for specific, often temporary, trade agreement or legislative modifications. Therefore, the goods classified here are not defined by broad material composition or use in the same way as headings in Chapters 1-97, but rather by their inclusion under a specific temporary provision.
Distinguishing this category from its "sibling" categories within the HTS structure is crucial. The sibling categories listed, such as live horses, bovine animals, swine, sheep, goats, and poultry (Chapters 0101-0105), represent goods classified based on their biological nature and agricultural classification. In contrast, HTS 9902.06.30 deals with a specific chemical compound, Azoxystrobin, which is an agricultural fungicide. The difference lies in the fundamental basis of classification: biological entities versus a manufactured chemical product subject to special tariff treatment.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories branching from HTS 9902.06.30. This signifies that the classification is highly specific and further subdivision is not required or provided for under this particular temporary provision. The reference to "provided for in subheading 2933.59.15" under the description highlights that Azoxystrobin's permanent classification is within Chapter 29, relating to organic chemicals. However, HTS 9902.06.30 represents a distinct, likely temporary, tariff treatment applied to this specific chemical.
