Overview
This HTS category, 9902.09.02, specifically covers hydrated and cyclized Eucalyptus citriodora oil, identified by CAS No. 1245629-80-4. These are modified forms of essential oil derived from the Eucalyptus citriodora tree, processed to alter their chemical structure. The "provided for in subheading 3301.29.10" notation indicates that while these are distinct processed products, their underlying classification base is within Chapter 33, which deals with essential oils and perfumery, cosmetic or toilet preparations.
As a node within Chapter 99, which pertains to temporary legislation and special provisions, this classification signifies a specific, likely temporary, treatment for this particular form of eucalyptus oil. Unlike the broad sibling categories in Chapter 1 (e.g., live animals), this entry addresses a highly specific chemical product. The distinction lies in its nature as a processed essential oil rather than a raw or live commodity, and its placement in Chapter 99 highlights a unique regulatory or trade policy application distinct from standard essential oil classifications found elsewhere in the HTS.
Since this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 9902.09.02. Classification within this code relies solely on the accurate identification of the product as hydrated, cyclized Eucalyptus citriodora oil. Importers must ensure that the imported material precisely matches this description to correctly utilize this temporary tariff provision.
