Overview
This HTS category, 9902.07.80, specifically covers Chlorophyllin-copper complex, identified by its CAS number 11006-34-1. This substance is a derivative of chlorophyll and is typically used for its coloring properties, often found in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Its classification under Chapter 99 indicates that it is subject to temporary legislation or specific import restrictions, as noted by its provision for in subheading 2942.00.50 for other organic compounds.
As this is a leaf node within Chapter 99, there are no further subdivisions. However, understanding its placement within Chapter 99 is crucial. This chapter is reserved for temporary measures and special provisions, distinguishing it from the permanent classification structures of Chapters 1 through 98, which cover a broad range of goods based on their inherent characteristics and uses. Unlike the primary chapters, items in Chapter 99 are often subject to change and specific proclamations.
Therefore, when classifying Chlorophyllin-copper complex, it is essential to recognize its dual classification. While its fundamental chemical nature might align with other organic compounds found in Chapter 29, its specific entry under 9902.07.80 directs users to consult the temporary provisions and potential restrictions associated with this unique code. This highlights the importance of always referring to the most current HTS to ensure accurate and compliant import procedures.
