9902.06.92 - 2-[3-(2H-Benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]ethyl methacrylate (CAS No. 96478-09-0) (provided for in subheading 2933.99.79)

This HTS classification, 9902.06.92, pertains to a specific chemical compound: 2-[3-(2H-Benzotriazol-2-yl)-4-hydroxyphenyl]ethyl methacrylate, identified by CAS No. 96478-09-0. This particular entry is provided for under subheading 2933.99.79 of the HTS, indicating its primary classification within Chapter 29, which covers organic chemicals. However, its placement in Chapter 99 signifies a temporary tariff provision or a modification to the standard tariff treatment. This temporary legislation, often enacted for specific trade agreements or policy reasons, may involve duty reductions, suspensions, or quotas.

As a leaf node within Chapter 99, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Its distinctiveness from other sibling categories, which typically represent broader categories of goods or distinct temporary measures, lies in its specificity. Unlike more general provisions in Chapter 99 that might cover broad groups of goods under temporary legislation, 9902.06.92 targets a single, precisely defined chemical substance with a unique CAS number. This specificity ensures that only this particular methacrylate derivative is subject to the special tariff treatment designated by this provision.

The purpose of this temporary classification is to facilitate or control the importation of this specific chemical. Customs professionals should note that while its chemical identity is detailed, the crucial aspect for classification at this level is its inclusion under Chapter 99. This implies that importers must consult not only the chemical description but also the specific legislative text or proclamation associated with HTS code 9902.06.92 to understand the precise conditions, limitations, or benefits applicable to its importation, which supersede the standard tariff treatment found under its primary HTS code in Chapter 29.
