Overview

This HTS category, 9902.08.44, specifically covers Reduced Vat Blue 43, identified by CAS No. 85737-02-6. While the permanent classification for this substance falls under subheading 3204.15.40, which deals with synthetic organic coloring matter, this temporary classification within Chapter 99 indicates a specific trade or legislative provision affecting its import. This often relates to temporary duty rates, quotas, or other import restrictions enacted under specific trade agreements or domestic legislation like Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.

Unlike other categories within the HTS, which are organized by general product type and material composition across various chapters, Chapter 99 represents a distinct section for temporary measures. Therefore, the "siblings" of this category are not other dyes or chemicals, but rather other temporary provisions and restrictions enacted under similar legislative frameworks. These could include other temporary duty modifications for various goods, special import licenses, or specific restrictions on certain agricultural products.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories that break down Reduced Vat Blue 43. Classification at this level is definitive for the specific substance under the outlined temporary legislation. The primary purpose of referencing this code is to ensure compliance with the particular import conditions or duty treatments prescribed by the temporary measure it represents.
