Overview
This HTS category, 9902.07.88, specifically addresses mixtures of two particular dyes: 4,11-diamino-2-(3-methoxypropyl)-1H-naphtho[2,3-f]isoindole-1,3,5,10(2H)-tetrone (Disperse Blue 60 M) and 4,11-diamino-2-[3-(2-methoxyethoxy)propyl]-1H-naphtho[2,3-f]isoindole-1,3,5,10(2H)-tetrone (Disperse Blue 60 ME). These are designated for use as disperse dyes and are provided for under subheading 3204.11.35. This classification falls under Section XXII, which pertains to special classification provisions, temporary legislation, and temporary modifications proclaimed pursuant to trade agreements or Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.
The distinguishing characteristic of this category is its focus on specific, complex organic chemical compounds used as dyes, rather than broader categories of raw materials or general chemical products. Its placement within Chapter 99 signifies that these goods are subject to temporary legislative or trade agreement-related modifications. This contrasts with the broader scope of sibling categories that typically cover live animals, agricultural products, or other general categories of goods under the HTS.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this code is determined by the presence of the specified chemical mixtures and their intended use as disperse dyes. Importers and exporters should ensure that the goods precisely match the chemical descriptions and CAS numbers provided to ensure accurate classification under this provision.
