9902.09.01 - Cold-pressed grapefruit oil (provided for in subheading 3301.19.10)

This HTS category, 9902.09.01, specifically designates cold-pressed grapefruit oil. This oil is a natural essential oil derived from the peel of grapefruits through a mechanical extraction process that avoids heat, thereby preserving its delicate aroma and chemical composition. It is important to note that the parenthetical reference to subheading 3301.19.10 signifies that this temporary classification provision is intended to apply to grapefruit oil that would otherwise fall under that permanent classification.

As this is a leaf node, there are no subcategories to introduce. The primary function of this specific HTS code is to temporarily modify the tariff treatment or impose specific import restrictions on cold-pressed grapefruit oil, as proclaimed under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act or other relevant trade legislation. Its presence within Chapter 99, "Temporary legislation; temporary modifications proclaimed pursuant to trade agreements legislation; additional import restrictions proclaimed pursuant to section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act, as amended," indicates that its application is subject to specific proclamations and may change over time. This category does not directly compete with other general commodity classifications found in earlier chapters of the HTS; rather, it acts as an overlay, directing specific goods with a particular origin or characteristic to a distinct set of regulations.
