Overview
This HTS category, 9902.09.81, covers specific mixtures containing β-conglutin, a protein derived from certain plants, when these mixtures are formulated with application adjuvants and are intended for use as a fungicide. The key characteristic for classification under this provision is the combination of β-conglutin with application adjuvants, specifically for fungicidal purposes. This designation falls under temporary legislation and special classification provisions, indicating that it is not a standard product classification but rather one subject to specific trade agreements or legislative actions.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings at the root level of the HTS database, such as live animals (Chapters 01), is straightforward. While those categories deal with live agricultural products, this provision pertains to processed chemical mixtures with a defined agricultural application. The primary differentiating factor for 9902.09.81 is its explicit reference to fungicidal use and its provision under Chapter 99, which is reserved for temporary legislation and special provisions, setting it apart from standard merchandise classifications.
As HTS code 9902.09.81 is a leaf node, it does not have further subcategories. The classification is definitive for the described mixtures. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise nature of the goods: mixtures containing β-conglutin and application adjuvants specifically designated and used as fungicides. Importers must ensure their product meets these exact criteria to be classified under this temporary and specific provision.
