9902.08.34 - Basic Violet 11:1 (Bis{6-(diethylamino)-N,N-diethyl-9-[2-(methoxycarbonyl) phenyl]-3H-xanthen-3-iminium} tetrachlorozincate(2-)) (CAS No. 73398-89-7).(CIN 45174) (provided for in subheading 3204.13.80)

This HTS category, 9902.08.34, covers a specific chemical compound identified as Basic Violet 11:1. Its complex chemical name, Bis{6-(diethylamino)-N,N-diethyl-9-[2-(methoxycarbonyl) phenyl]-3H-xanthen-3-iminium} tetrachlorozincate(2-), along with its CAS number (73398-89-7) and CIN (45174), precisely defines its identity. This provision is a temporary measure, as indicated by its placement within Chapter 99, often related to temporary legislation or additional import restrictions. The description explicitly states that this item is "provided for in subheading 3204.13.80," indicating it is a specific type of synthetic dyestuff, likely a colorant.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling nodes at the HTS Database Root level is straightforward. Unlike the sibling categories that begin with Chapter 01 and focus on live animals such as horses, bovine animals, swine, sheep, goats, and poultry, this category pertains to specialized chemical substances. The scope of Chapter 99, where this item resides, is fundamentally different from the primary product chapters (01-97) that detail the classification of general merchandise. This highlights that 9902.08.34 is not a general commodity but a specifically regulated or temporarily legislated item.

As this node is a leaf node, it does not have subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise definition and contextual placement of Basic Violet 11:1. Its inclusion under Chapter 99 signifies that its classification may be subject to specific import conditions or temporary trade policy measures that differ from the standard classification of dyes found in Chapter 32. Understanding its primary classification in 3204.13.80 is crucial for its broader contextual understanding, but the 9902 code indicates specific, potentially time-limited, tariff treatment.
