Overview
This HTS category, 9902.09.38, specifically covers mixtures containing Dinotefuran, a chemical compound identified by CAS No. 165252-70-0, when it is combined with application adjuvants. These adjuvants are themselves classified under subheading 3808.91.50, indicating they are typically used in conjunction with pesticides or other agricultural chemicals to enhance their effectiveness. The primary purpose of these mixtures is for agricultural applications, leveraging the insecticidal properties of Dinotefuran.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, which primarily focus on live animals and other broader commodity groups, is straightforward. HTS 9902.09.38 deals with a highly specific chemical mixture, not live organisms. While other chapters of the HTS may cover various chemical substances, this particular entry is found within Chapter 99, which is reserved for temporary legislation and special provisions, often related to import restrictions or trade agreements. This signifies that the classification here is driven by specific regulatory or trade policy considerations beyond standard commodity classification.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories branching from HTS 9902.09.38. Classification at this level requires careful verification of the chemical identity of the active ingredient (Dinotefuran) and confirmation that the mixture includes adjuvants falling under the specified subheading. The presence of both components, as described, is the sole determinant for classification under this special provision.
