Overview
This HTS classification, 9902.08.53, specifically covers mixtures of two particular reactive dyes: Reactive Red 198 and Reactive Red 239. These are complex organic compounds designed for dyeing textiles, characterized by their specific chemical structures, including azo and triazine groups, and their sodium salt forms. The inclusion of CAS numbers provides precise identification for these chemical substances. The classification "as provided for in subheading 3204.16.30" indicates that these specific mixtures are temporarily being managed under Chapter 99 provisions, distinct from their general tariff classification.
As a leaf node within Chapter 99, this category has no further subdivisions. Its purpose within the HTS system is to address temporary legislative or trade agreement-driven modifications to import duties or restrictions for these precise dye mixtures. This distinguishes it from other Chapter 99 codes, which may cover different goods or apply different temporary measures. Unlike the primary goods found in Chapters 1-97, this code does not represent a standard, ongoing tariff classification but rather a specific, time-limited control mechanism.
The context of Section XXII and Chapter 99 signifies that goods classified here are subject to special provisions, often related to trade agreements, temporary import restrictions under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, or other temporary legislative measures. Understanding this context is crucial for accurate import and export procedures, as it dictates compliance requirements beyond the standard tariff treatment.
