Overview
This HTS code, 9902.07.61, specifically covers Sulfometuron-methyl (CAS No. 74222-97-2), a chemical compound identified as Methyl 2-{[(4,6-dimethyl-2-pyrimidinyl)carbamoyl]sul- famoyl}benzoate. This classification falls under Chapter 99, which is reserved for temporary legislation and special provisions, including modifications proclaimed pursuant to trade agreements and additional import restrictions. Therefore, its inclusion here signifies a specific regulatory treatment applied to this particular chemical, distinct from its permanent classification.
Unlike sibling categories that typically represent broad classes of goods or raw materials within the broader HTS structure (e.g., live animals, plants, or basic chemicals), this code denotes a highly specific chemical product subject to unique import rules. Its primary purpose is as an herbicide, and its classification within Chapter 99 indicates that its importation may be subject to particular quotas, duties, or licensing requirements as determined by temporary legislation or trade policy. The reference to subheading 2935.90.75 within its description highlights its underlying chemical nature, but the Chapter 99 designation takes precedence for current import control purposes.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. The classification is highly specific and directly applies to Sulfometuron-methyl itself. Any variations in formulation, purity, or intended use that might lead to a different classification would be addressed by examining other HTS codes, likely within Chapter 29 for organic chemicals, but potentially still subject to Chapter 99 provisions if applicable. For customs purposes, the precise identification of the substance and adherence to any specific Chapter 99 requirements are paramount.
