Overview
This HTS category, 9902.09.54, specifically classifies temporary product mixtures that contain both Fluopyram (CAS No. 658066-35-4) and Pyrimethanil (CAS No. 53112-28-0). These active ingredients are recognized for their fungicidal and pesticidal properties. The inclusion of the "provided for in subheading 3808.92.15" notation signifies that the underlying classification for these types of pesticidal mixtures falls under Chapter 38 of the HTS.
This classification is situated within Chapter 99, which deals with temporary legislation, trade agreement modifications, and specific import restrictions. Therefore, HTS 9902.09.54 is not a permanent classification for these chemical mixtures but rather a temporary measure or a specific provision enacted under the authority of Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. The distinction from other sibling categories at the root level of the HTS is significant; while siblings like 0101 (Live horses) or 3808 (Insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, anti-sprouting products and plant-growth regulators) represent broader, permanent classifications of goods, 9902.09.54 indicates a temporary or specific regulatory treatment for a particular product composition.
As this is a leaf node, there are no subcategories. The focus of classification under this HTS code is solely on the presence and combination of Fluopyram and Pyrimethanil within the specified product mixtures, subject to the temporary provisions outlined in Chapter 99. This designation allows for targeted management of imports of these specific chemical formulations, likely due to their agricultural or public health implications, as determined by trade or agricultural policy.
