9902.07.83 - Red cabbage color concentrate (provided for in subheading 3203.00.80)

This HTS code, 9902.07.83, specifically covers red cabbage color concentrate. This classification is established under Chapter 99, which pertains to temporary legislation, temporary modifications proclaimed pursuant to trade agreements legislation, and additional import restrictions proclaimed pursuant to Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as amended. The primary purpose of this specific code is to manage imports of this particular coloring agent, which is recognized as being provided for in subheading 3203.00.80 of the HTS.

Unlike the primary HTS categories that classify goods based on their fundamental nature and composition (such as the sibling examples of live animals in Chapter 01), this entry exists within a temporary legislation chapter. This indicates that its application and scope are subject to specific trade policies or agricultural protection measures rather than the general classification rules for pigments and dyes found in Chapter 32. Its existence highlights a distinct regulatory treatment for red cabbage color concentrate beyond its inherent chemical properties.

As a leaf node, HTS code 9902.07.83 does not have further subcategories. This means that any import of red cabbage color concentrate, as defined and regulated by the temporary provisions, will fall directly under this specific code. Classification professionals should therefore ensure that the product's nature as a red cabbage color concentrate is confirmed, and that it meets the criteria for being considered under the relevant Section 22 restrictions or temporary trade agreements to be classified here.
