Overview
This HTS category, 9902.08.80, specifically covers Solvent Violet 11, also identified as 1,4-diaminoanthraquinone (CAS No. 128-95-0). This classification is designated under temporary legislation and special provisions, indicating that its treatment may differ from standard tariff classifications. The provision notes that it is "provided for in subheading 3204.19.25," which refers to synthetic organic dyestuffs under Chapter 32. Therefore, while falling under a special classification chapter, its underlying nature is that of a synthetic organic dye.
As this is a leaf node, there are no direct subcategories to distinguish. However, it is important to understand its context within Chapter 99, which deals with temporary measures. Its existence here means that this specific dye may be subject to specific import restrictions, quotas, or special duty rates that are not applicable to other dyestuffs classified under more permanent chapters. This contrasts with its sibling categories at the HTS root level, which represent broad categories of live animals and are not subject to these temporary or special provisions.
The primary classification criteria for goods under this node are their precise chemical identity as Solvent Violet 11 or 1,4-diaminoanthraquinone, and the specific provision of its inclusion under temporary legislation. Importers must ensure they are dealing with this exact substance, as slight variations in chemical composition or other identical-sounding compounds would be classified elsewhere. The reference to its primary classification under 3204.19.25 reinforces its identity as a synthetic organic dyestuff.
