9902.07.75 - Purified steviol glycoside, rebaudioside A (19-O-ß-glucopyranosyl-13-O-(ß-glucopyranosyl(1-2)- ß-glucopyranosyl(1-3))-ß-glucopyranosyl-13-hydroxykaur-16- en-19-oic acid) (CAS No. 58543-16-1) (provided for in subheading 2938.90.00)

This HTS category, 9902.07.75, specifically covers purified steviol glycoside, identified by its chemical name rebaudioside A (CAS No. 58543-16-1). This substance is a high-purity extract derived from the Stevia rebaudiana plant, widely recognized for its intense sweetness and use as a natural sweetener. Importantly, this classification is provided for within subheading 2938.90.00 of the HTS, indicating its underlying chemical nature, but is subject to temporary legislation or modifications as outlined in Chapter 99.

In distinguishing this category from its sibling nodes within the broader HTS structure, it's crucial to note that sibling categories at the root level, such as those covering live animals (Chapters 01), are fundamentally different in their nature, origin, and intended use. This specific classification pertains to a refined chemical compound, not live organisms. The "99" chapter designation signifies its inclusion under temporary provisions, separate from the permanent classification of goods in earlier chapters.

As a leaf node, HTS 9902.07.75 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus for classification purposes rests on the specific identification of the purified steviol glycoside, rebaudioside A, including its CAS number and its provision under subheading 2938.90.00. Classification under this temporary provision is contingent upon adherence to any specific requirements or limitations outlined by trade agreements legislation or Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as amended, which govern the application of this chapter.
