Overview
This HTS category, 9902.08.54, specifically covers Reactive Blue 187, a complex organic compound identified by CAS Number 79771-28-1. While its primary chemical designation is provided, its classification context firmly places it within Section XXII, which pertains to Special Classification Provisions, Temporary Legislation, and Temporary Modifications proclaimed pursuant to Trade Agreements Legislation and Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. This indicates that its treatment under customs law is subject to specific, temporary restrictions or provisions, rather than being a standard classification within the core HTS chapters.
Within the broad scope of Chapter 99, which encompasses temporary measures and legislative modifications, this sub-item distinguishes itself by its precise chemical identity and its explicit reference to a base classification under subheading 3204.16.30. This implies that without these specific temporary provisions, Reactive Blue 187 would otherwise be classified as a synthetic organic dyestuff. The inclusion within Chapter 99 signifies that its import or export may be subject to quotas, duties, or other specific regulatory requirements that are not applied to general dyestuffs.
As a leaf node within the HTS structure, HTS 9902.08.54 does not have further subcategories. Its function is to provide a specific entry for Reactive Blue 187 under the temporary legislation framework. Therefore, classification relies on the accurate identification of the substance itself and adherence to the specific terms and conditions associated with temporary provisions under Section XXII and Chapter 99. This particular classification serves as a direct application of special trade policies or agricultural import restrictions to a defined chemical product.
