9902.07.74 - 13-[(2-O-β-D-Glucopyranosyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl)oxy]kaur- 16-en-18-oic acid β-D-glucopyranosyl ester (Stevioside) (CAS No. 57817-89-7) (provided for in subheading 2938.90.00)

This HTS category, specifically HTS code 9902.07.74, covers a temporary modification or provision related to the importation of Stevioside. Stevioside is identified by its chemical name, 13-[(2-O-β-D-Glucopyranosyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl)oxy]kaur-16-en-18-oic acid β-D-glucopyranosyl ester, and its CAS Number 57817-89-7. Crucially, this classification indicates that Stevioside, while potentially falling under a different standard HTS chapter based on its inherent nature (specifically subheading 2938.90.00), is subject to a special provision under Chapter 99 due to temporary legislative action, trade agreements, or specific import restrictions.

Unlike the typical HTS classifications for live animals or other broad commodity groups found at the same root level of the database, this category operates under a distinct framework. Chapter 99 is reserved for temporary legislation and modifications, meaning the scope of goods covered here is dynamic and subject to change based on current trade policies and agreements. Therefore, this category does not define a product based on its intrinsic physical or chemical properties in the same way as a permanent HTS classification would, but rather on its temporary trade status.

As HTS code 9902.07.74 is a leaf node, it does not have further subcategories. This signifies that any goods classified under this code are at their most specific level within the temporary provisions of Chapter 99. The classification is definitive for Stevioside under these specific temporary import conditions. This highlights the importance of consulting the most current HTS data and relevant proclamations to understand the exact duties, restrictions, or requirements associated with importing Stevioside under this provision.
