9902.08.16 - Acid Black 194 (CAS No. 61931-02-0) (provided for in subheading 3204.12.20)

This HTS classification, specifically 9902.08.16, pertains to Acid Black 194 (CAS No. 61931-02-0). This designation falls under Chapter 99 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, which is reserved for temporary legislation, modifications under trade agreements, and additional import restrictions. The inclusion of this specific dyestuff under a Chapter 99 subheading indicates it is subject to special import rules or restrictions that may be temporary or tied to specific trade policies, rather than being classified based on its inherent material or use under the standard HTS Chapters.

Given that this node is a leaf node within Chapter 99, there are no further subcategories to detail. The classification is highly specific, referencing a particular chemical compound (Acid Black 194) and its provided-for status under a more general subheading (3204.12.20). This suggests that while Acid Black 194 is a dyestuff typically found in Chapter 32, its presence in Chapter 99 signifies a distinct regulatory treatment that supersedes or modifies its standard classification for import purposes. Therefore, understanding the specific temporary legislation or restriction associated with this code is crucial for accurate import compliance.
