Overview
This HTS category, 9902.09.70, specifically covers certain specialized mixtures containing two identified agricultural fungicides: Iprodione and Trifloxystrobin. These mixtures are designated for import under temporary legislation and may be subject to additional import restrictions as proclaimed pursuant to Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. The classification is provided for within the broader context of Chapter 99, which pertains to temporary and special provisions, and more directly links to subheading 3808.92.15 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule, indicating its primary function as a pesticide.
Unlike the vast array of general goods found in the early chapters of the HTS (such as live animals in Chapter 01), this category is highly specific and deals with chemical mixtures used in agriculture. Its siblings at the HTS Database Root level represent broad categories of goods like live animals, and therefore, this particular classification is distinguished by its precise chemical composition and its purpose as a fungicidal agent for crop protection. The focus here is not on the biological state of an organism, but on a formulated chemical product.
As a leaf node, HTS code 9902.09.70 does not have further subcategories. This means that any mixture meeting the specific chemical requirements of containing both Iprodione and Trifloxystrobin, and intended for import under the described temporary provisions, will be classified directly under this code. Classification relies solely on the presence and identity of these two active ingredients within the mixture, along with adherence to any special reporting or quantitative restrictions that may be in effect under the temporary legislation referenced in Chapter 99.
