Overview
HTS Code 9902.06.33 specifically covers N-Benzyl-3H-purin-6-amine, also known as Benzyladenine, with the CAS number 1214-39-7. This compound is a plant growth regulator, functioning as a cytokinin that promotes cell division and growth in plants. Its classification within Chapter 99 signifies that it is subject to temporary legislation, modifications, or additional import restrictions, often proclaimed under trade agreements or Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. This means that while its primary classification might be found elsewhere in the HTS (as indicated by its provision in subheading 2933.59.15), it is currently subject to special import rules.
As a leaf node within Chapter 99, this specific HTS code does not have further subdivisions. Its distinctiveness lies in its unique chemical identity and its application as a plant growth regulator, differentiating it from other temporary provisions or statistical reporting numbers found within the broader Chapter 99. The "99" series is generally reserved for items not covered elsewhere or those subject to specific, often time-limited, trade policies. Therefore, any goods falling under 9902.06.33 must be identified as Benzyladenine and assessed against the relevant temporary legislation outlined for this code.
