Overview
HTS Code 9902.07.68 pertains to Methyl 3-sulfamoyl-2-thiophenecarboxylate (CAS No. 59337-93-8), a specific chemical compound. This classification falls under Chapter 99, which encompasses temporary legislation, temporary modifications related to trade agreements, and additional import restrictions under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. This means that while the inherent nature of the chemical might place it in a different chapter under the standard HTS, its import is subject to special provisions and potential restrictions outlined in Chapter 99.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling categories at the root level of the HTS database is crucial for accurate classification. The vast majority of HTS codes, such as those for live animals (Chapters 01), are based on the fundamental nature and function of the goods themselves. In contrast, 9902.07.68 is an example of a "temporary" or "special" classification. Its primary identifier is not the commodity itself in isolation, but rather its status under specific trade policies or regulatory measures. Therefore, while other HTS codes directly describe a product's material composition or intended use, this category signifies a deviation from the standard tariff treatment due to specific legal or policy considerations.
As HTS Code 9902.07.68 is a leaf node, it has no subcategories. This indicates that the classification is highly specific, pointing directly to Methyl 3-sulfamoyl-2-thiophenecarboxylate with the specified CAS number. Further subdivisions are not provided at this level, implying that any goods falling under this code are treated uniformly under the described special provisions. The classification is fixed for this particular compound when imported under the conditions governed by Chapter 99, with its origin provided for in subheading 2935.90.75 serving as a reference point for its underlying chemical nature.
