Overview
This HTS code, 9902.09.71, specifically covers mixtures containing Tetraconazole (CAS No. 112281-77-3), a fungicide, and Azoxystrobin (CAS No. 131860-33-8), another fungicide, along with application adjuvants. The presence of these specific active ingredients and their intended use as agricultural or horticultural pest control agents are the defining characteristics of this classification. This provision is situated within Chapter 99, which deals with temporary legislation and trade agreement modifications, indicating that this specific tariff treatment is subject to change and may not be a permanent classification.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings at the HTS Root level is straightforward. The HTS Root encompasses a vast array of goods, from live animals (Chapters 01-05) to various manufactured products. Unlike broader categories such as "Live animals" or general "Chemical products," this code is highly specific, focusing on a particular formulation of two named fungicides and their associated adjuvants. Its classification is driven by the precise chemical composition and the intended function as a pesticidal mixture, rather than the broader material composition or general utility of goods found in other root-level chapters.
As HTS 9902.09.71 is a leaf node, it does not have further subcategories. This means that once a mixture meets the criteria of containing Tetraconazole, Azoxystrobin, and application adjuvants under the temporary legislation of Chapter 99, it is directly classified under this specific code. Therefore, classification hinges on confirming the presence of these identified active ingredients and their combination with necessary adjuvants, within the context of the applicable temporary tariff provisions.
