9902.08.06 - Mixtures of Disperse Red 1042A (5-[2-(2-cyano-4-nitro- phenyl)diazenyl]-2-[[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl]amino]-4-methyl-6- (phenylamino)-3-pyridine carbonitrile) (CAS No. 149988-44-3) and Disperse Red 1042B (5-[(2-cyano-4-nitrophenyl)dia- zenyl]-6-[[2-(2-hydroxyethoxy)ethyl]amino]-4- methyl-2-(phenylamino)-3-pyridine carbonitrile) (CAS No. 137428-29-6)(provided for in subheading 3204.11.35)

This HTS category, 9902.08.06, specifically covers mixtures containing two defined chemical compounds: Disperse Red 1042A and Disperse Red 1042B. These compounds are identified by their chemical names and CAS numbers, and are noted as being provided for in subheading 3204.11.35. This classification indicates that while these specific mixtures fall under temporary legislative provisions, their underlying chemical nature relates to synthetic organic dyestuffs. The inclusion of these specific formulations under Chapter 99 signifies that they are subject to special customs treatment, likely due to temporary modifications in trade agreements or specific import restrictions enacted under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.

As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 9902.08.06 does not have further subdivisions. Its purpose is to isolate these particular dye mixtures for specific regulatory or tariff purposes distinct from the broader categories of live animals or other goods found at the same level within the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, such as those in Chapter 01. The critical classification criteria here are the exact chemical identity of the components and their mixture, as well as the overarching temporary legislative provision that has been applied. This ensures that these specific dyestuff mixtures are managed according to the provisions outlined in Chapter 99, which dictates unique import procedures or duties separate from their standard classification.
