Overview
This HTS code, 9902.07.62, specifically classifies Bensulfuron-methyl, identified by CAS No. 83055-99-6. Bensulfuron-methyl is a sulfonylurea herbicide used for selective weed control, primarily in rice cultivation. Its classification under Chapter 99 indicates that it is subject to special provisions, likely temporary legislation or specific import restrictions enacted under trade agreements or agricultural adjustment acts.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings within the HTS system is crucial for accurate classification. While other sibling categories might cover a vast array of general merchandise or other specific chemical compounds, 9902.07.62 is narrowly defined to a single, highly specific chemical product. This level of specificity differentiates it from broader categories of agricultural chemicals or unclassified organic compounds, as it pertains to a particular active ingredient with a defined CAS number and application.
As a leaf node in the HTS structure, this category does not possess further subdivisions. Therefore, the focus for classification under 9902.07.62 rests entirely on the precise identification of Bensulfuron-methyl. Importers must ensure that the product being declared precisely matches the chemical name, CAS number, and description provided, and be prepared to demonstrate compliance with any associated temporary legislation or import restrictions stipulated by its placement within Chapter 99.
