9902.08.02 - Disperse Yellow 71 (9(or 10)-Methoxy-7H-benzimidazo[2,1- a]benz[de]isoquinolin-7-one) (CAS No. 68296-59-3) (provided for in 3204.11.35)

This HTS classification, specifically 9902.08.02, pertains to a temporary provision for Disperse Yellow 71, a synthetic organic dyestuff identified by the CAS Number 68296-59-3. Its chemical name is further defined as 9(or 10)-Methoxy-7H-benzimidazo[2,1- a]benz[de]isoquinolin-7-one. This entry falls under Chapter 99, which is reserved for temporary legislation and modifications related to trade agreements and specific import restrictions.

Unlike the primary chapters of the HTS which classify goods by their inherent nature and use (e.g., Chapter 32 for dyes and pigments), Chapter 99 categories often represent specific legislative actions or temporary exceptions. Therefore, this category is distinct from its sibling categories, which typically cover live animals. The primary purpose of this classification is to track and manage the import of this particular dyestuff under specific, often time-limited, trade policy measures.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subdivisions or subcategories. The classification is specific to Disperse Yellow 71 as identified. Its placement under a Chapter 99 provision means its primary classification is governed by specific legislative action, with a note indicating its original classification under 3204.11.35, a category for dyestuffs. This indicates that while the dyestuff itself is a "provided for" good under a permanent HTS heading, this specific Chapter 99 code imposes an additional or modified import treatment.
