Overview
This HTS category, 9902.08.69, covers a specific chemical substance, Solvent Red 179, identified by its chemical name and CAS number. This classification is part of Section XXII, which pertains to Special Classification Provisions and Temporary Legislation. Importantly, the inclusion of "(provided for in subheading 3204.19.20)" indicates that while this is a temporary or special provision, the underlying product is also classifiable under Chapter 32, which deals with dyes and pigments. Therefore, this category is not for general dyes or pigments, but a specific provision related to Solvent Red 179 that likely involves temporary duty rates or import restrictions.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 9902.08.69. Its unique classification under Chapter 99 signifies a departure from standard tariff treatment for similar chemical substances. Unlike the sibling categories in Chapter 01, which deal with live animals, or other broad material categories, this HTS code is highly specific to a particular synthetic organic dye. The presence of "Temporary Legislation" in the parent context suggests that the classification of Solvent Red 179 under this specific code is subject to change or has specific conditions attached to its importation, distinct from its permanent classification under Chapter 32.
