9902.08.70 - Solvent Blue 104 (1,4-bis(mesitylamino)-9,10-anthraquinone) (CAS No.116-75-6) (provided for in subheading 3204.19.20)

This HTS classification, 9902.08.70, specifically addresses Solvent Blue 104, a synthetic organic dyestuff identified by its chemical name 1,4-bis(mesitylamino)-9,10-anthraquinone and CAS Number 116-75-6. While its primary classification falls under subheading 3204.19.20, which covers other synthetic organic coloring matter, this Chapter 99 code signifies a temporary modification or restriction impacting its importation. This indicates that while the substance is fundamentally a synthetic organic dyestuff, specific trade agreements, temporary legislation, or Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act have imposed unique import conditions.

As a leaf node within Chapter 99, this category does not have further subdivisions. Its significance lies in its temporary nature, overriding or supplementing the standard classification found in Chapter 32. Therefore, understanding the precise nature of the temporary legislation or proclamation associated with this specific HTS code is crucial for determining compliance with current import requirements, as it deviates from the general provisions for synthetic organic coloring matter. Importers must consult the relevant proclamations or amendments to fully grasp the applicable duties, quotas, or restrictions.
