Overview
This HTS code, 9902.09.59, specifically covers a product mixture containing the active ingredient Prothioconazole (CAS No. 178928-70-6). Prothioconazole is a triazole thione fungicide used in agriculture to control various fungal diseases in crops. This classification falls under Chapter 99, which is reserved for temporary legislation and modifications to import restrictions, often enacted under trade agreements or specific agricultural adjustment acts. The "provided for in subheading 3808.92.15" notation indicates its primary classification within the permanent tariff schedule pertains to antifungal preparations for retail sale or as preparations or articles of a kind used for the protection of plants.
Given its position within Chapter 99, this code represents a specific, likely temporary, modification or restriction on the importation of Prothioconazole mixtures. It is crucial to distinguish this from its permanent tariff classification (3808.92.15) and other temporary provisions that may exist within Chapter 99. The primary distinction from the numerous sibling categories at the HTS root (e.g., live animals) is its nature as a chemical product subject to specialized import regulations rather than live animal commodities.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within 9902.09.59. Classification under this specific code requires confirmation of the product's exact formulation and the active presence of Prothioconazole. Importers should consult the relevant trade notices and regulations associated with Chapter 99 provisions to ensure full compliance with any temporary import requirements, quotas, or duties applicable to this product.
