9902.07.12 - Zinc bis(1,3-benzothiazole-2-thiolate) (CAS No. 155-04-4) (provided for in subheading 2934.20.80)

This HTS category, 9902.07.12, specifically covers Zinc bis(1,3-benzothiazole-2-thiolate), identified by CAS No. 155-04-4. This compound is recognized for its application as an accelerator in the vulcanization of rubber. Its presence within Chapter 99 signifies that it is subject to temporary legislation or specific import restrictions, often related to trade agreements or agricultural adjustment programs, and is provided for under subheading 2934.20.80 within the main chemical classifications.

As a node within Chapter 99, this category is distinct from the broader sibling categories that typically cover live animals (Chapters 01-05) or general merchandise. Its placement highlights a specific, temporary trade provision rather than a permanent classification based on the inherent nature of a good. Unlike chapters that classify goods by material (e.g., plastics, textiles) or end-use (e.g., machinery, vehicles), Chapter 99 focuses on the regulatory or legislative status of the imported item.

Since HTS code 9902.07.12 is a leaf node, it does not have further subcategories. Its classification is specific to the chemical compound and its associated temporary or special trade treatment. Therefore, the focus for classification under this code is on accurately identifying the imported material as Zinc bis(1,3-benzothiazole-2-thiolate) and ensuring compliance with the specific conditions outlined by the temporary legislation it falls under.
