Overview
This HTS code, 9902.09.04, specifically addresses a specialized chemical product: dispersions and suspensions of a fluoropolymer derivative in water. The description details the chemical composition, including 1-propene, 1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoro-, telomer with chlorotrifluoroethene, which has undergone oxidation, reduction, and hydrolysis, and is present as ammonium salts. This classification is crucial for identifying and tracking specific chemical imports that fall under temporary legislative provisions.
Unlike the numerous sibling categories at the HTS Root level, which primarily deal with live animals (e.g., Chapters 01), this code is situated within Chapter 99, dedicated to temporary legislation and special classification provisions. This means its relevance is driven by trade agreements and specific, time-bound import restrictions, rather than general commodity classifications. Therefore, its distinction from broad categories like live animals is fundamental; it represents a highly specialized chemical product subject to unique regulatory oversight.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 9902.09.04 is definitive for the described chemical product. Any variations in the chemical composition, percentage of components, or the form of the material (e.g., a solid powder versus a dispersion) would necessitate a re-evaluation of its HTS classification, potentially leading to a different code within Chapter 34 or another chapter, depending on the specific characteristics and intended use.
