Overview
This HTS category, 9902.09.69, specifically covers mixtures containing two named active ingredients: Fluopyram (CAS No. 658066-35-4) and Clothianidin (CAS No. 210880-92-5). These are sophisticated chemical compounds used in agricultural applications, notably as pesticides. The inclusion of the CAS numbers provides precise chemical identification for these components, ensuring accurate classification and avoiding ambiguity.
Given that this is a leaf node within Chapter 99, it signifies a very specific, potentially temporary, classification. Unlike the broader sibling categories that deal with live animals or raw materials, this entry is focused on formulated chemical products. The purpose of this specific subheading is to track and potentially apply unique trade policies or restrictions, as indicated by its placement within Chapter 99, which deals with special trade provisions.
The parenthetical reference to subheading 3808.92.15 suggests that the underlying classification for these types of mixtures, absent specific temporary provisions, would fall under preparations for the retail sale of insecticides or other pesticides. This current subheading (9902.09.69) therefore acts as a specialized overlay, likely for goods subject to particular import regulations or duties that differ from the standard classification.
