9902.09.49 - Product mixtures containing N-[2-[3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl) pyridin-2-yl]ethyl]-2-(trifluoromethyl) benzamide (Fluopyram) (CAS No. 658066-35-4) and Bacillus firmus (Strain I-1582) (provided for in subheading 3808.92.15)

This HTS category, 9902.09.49, specifically classifies temporary importations of product mixtures containing Fluopyram (CAS No. 658066-35-4) and *Bacillus firmus* (Strain I-1582). Fluopyram is a fungicide, and *Bacillus firmus* is a biological control agent. The reference to subheading 3808.92.15 indicates that the underlying product, before the application of this temporary provision, would likely be classified as a preparation for retail sale or as a preparation for agricultural use, containing insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, anti-sprouting agents and plant-growth regulators, disinfectants and similar products.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings at the HTS Database Root level is straightforward. The other sibling categories, such as those for live animals (0101-0105), cover entirely different types of goods based on biological life forms. HTS Chapter 99, under which this code resides, is reserved for temporary legislation, modifications, and specific import restrictions. Therefore, this particular HTS code signifies a specialized import status for a defined chemical and biological mixture, distinct from the general classification of live animals or other standard trade goods.

As HTS code 9902.09.49 is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. This means that any importation meeting the precise description of containing both Fluopyram and *Bacillus firmus* (Strain I-1582) under the temporary legislation context will fall directly under this classification. The classification is therefore highly specific and contingent on the exact composition and intended temporary importation purpose.
