Overview
HTS code 9902.07.60 specifically classifies the chemical compound N-{2,4-Dichloro-5-[4-(difluoromethyl)-3-methyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl]phenyl}methanesulfonamide, commonly known as Sulfentrazone. This classification falls under Chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, which pertains to temporary legislation and special provisions. Sulfentrazone is a herbicide, and its inclusion within this chapter indicates that its classification is subject to specific temporary modifications or restrictions, often related to trade agreements or other legislative actions.
While the broader HTS database encompasses a vast array of goods from live animals (Chapters 01) to chemicals (Chapter 29), HTS 9902.07.60 is distinct due to its placement within the "Special Classification Provisions" section. Unlike the substantive chapters that define goods based on their inherent properties and primary use, Chapter 99 codes are legislative in nature. They act as overlays or modifiers to classifications found in other chapters, in this case, directing that Sulfentrazone, though chemically a pesticide (likely classifiable elsewhere under Chapter 29), is temporarily managed under these special provisions, specifically referencing its provision in subheading 2935.90.75.
As HTS 9902.07.60 is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories beneath it within this specific code. This signifies that any importation of Sulfentrazone under this special provision will be directly classified here. The practical implication for importers is that they must be aware of any specific documentation, quotas, or other requirements associated with this temporary classification beyond the standard customs procedures for its primary chemical identification.
