Overview
This HTS classification, 9902.09.05, covers specific dispersions and suspensions used in industrial applications. The primary components are chemical compounds derived from 1-propene, 1,1,2,3,3,3-hexafluoro-, specifically a telomer with chlorotrifluoroethene that has undergone oxidation, reduction, and hydrolysis to form ammonium salts (CAS No. 330809-92-2). Additionally, the formulation includes an oxidized and polymerized form of the same hexafluoro-1-propene (CAS No. 69991-67-9). Both these chemical entities are suspended in water at specified percentages, with the ammonium salt component comprising approximately 25 percent by weight and the polymerized component ranging from 15 to 20 percent by weight.
This temporary provision, located within Chapter 99, is distinct from the typical product classifications found in earlier chapters of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, such as Chapters 1 through 98, which cover a broad range of goods from live animals to machinery. Unlike the agricultural products in Chapter 01, for instance, this entry pertains to specialized chemical formulations rather than commodities. Its inclusion under Section XXII signifies a temporary modification or restriction enacted for specific policy reasons, such as trade agreements or agricultural adjustments, and is not intended to represent a permanent product category within the broader HTS structure.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is highly specific, covering only these precise chemical dispersions and suspensions with their defined compositions and presence in water. The "provided for in subheading 3402.11.50" notation within the description indicates that this temporary classification is applied in conjunction with the permanent classification for nonionic surfactants, highlighting that this specific formulation, while chemical in nature, falls under a broader surfactant category when not subject to the temporary provisions of Chapter 99.
