Overview
This HTS category, 9902.09.25, specifically covers certain product mixtures containing the insecticides Clothianidin and β-Cyfluthrin. These mixtures are formulated products intended for pest control, incorporating both active ingredients. The inclusion of the CAS numbers (210880-92-5 for Clothianidin and 68359-37-5 for β-Cyfluthrin) serves to precisely identify the chemical compounds present in the mixture.
The classification within Chapter 99 signifies that these are items subject to temporary legislation, trade agreement modifications, or additional import restrictions proclaimed under specific U.S. legislation, such as Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. This distinguishes them from standard classifications found in Chapters 1-97, which typically categorize goods based on their inherent nature and composition without such specific trade-related provisions. Therefore, while the individual active ingredients or broader categories of pesticides might be classified elsewhere, this specific HTS code denotes a special regulatory treatment for these combined formulations.
As a leaf node, 9902.09.25 has no further subdivisions. The classification is highly specific, indicating that any product meeting the precise description of containing both Clothianidin and β-Cyfluthrin, and falling under the purview of temporary import restrictions, will be classified here. It is crucial for importers and exporters to verify that their product precisely matches the description and CAS numbers provided, as well as to be aware of any associated temporary regulations or restrictions that necessitate classification under this special provision.
