Overview
This HTS category, 9902.08.01, specifically covers certain chemical mixtures classified as disperse dyes, primarily for textile applications. The enumerated components include Disperse Blue 60 M, Disperse Blue 60 ME, and Disperse Blue 1771. These are complex organic compounds identified by their specific chemical names and CAS Registry Numbers. Crucially, this classification is made *provided for in 3204.11.35*, indicating that while these are specific mixtures, their fundamental nature as synthetic dyestuffs places them under that broader heading, with this 9902 code representing a temporary or specific provision.
As a category within Chapter 99, which deals with temporary legislation and trade agreement modifications, this code distinguishes itself from the general provisions found in earlier chapters of the HTS. While sibling categories at the root level, such as live animals (0101-0105), represent entirely different classes of goods, 9902.08.01 falls under a specialized section related to trade policy and restrictions. Its primary distinction lies in its nature as a provision for specific chemical mixtures that might otherwise be classified under the dyes and pigments chapter (Chapter 32), but are subject to special tariff treatment or limitations.
Since HTS 9902.08.01 is a leaf node, it does not have further subcategories. The classification is specific to the exact mixtures of disperse dyes detailed in its description. Therefore, classification decisions for goods falling under this code should focus on verifying the presence and identity of these enumerated chemical compounds and ensuring compliance with any underlying conditions or restrictions associated with temporary tariff provisions.
