Overview
This HTS category, 9902.09.93, specifically covers certain mixtures designed for agricultural use. These mixtures are comprised of the active ingredient Prosulfuron, a triazine herbicide, and application adjuvants. Prosulfuron, identified by CAS No. 94125-34-5, is a chemical compound used for weed control in various crops. The accompanying application adjuvants are substances that enhance the effectiveness or application of the herbicide, such as surfactants, spreaders, or stickers. These mixtures are provided for in subheading 3808.93.15, indicating their classification within broader categories of insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and other pesticides.
As a temporary classification under Chapter 99, this entry signifies specific tariff or import treatment that deviates from the standard HTS structure. Unlike the primary HTS categories (e.g., Chapters 1-97) which classify goods based on their inherent nature and composition, Chapter 99 utilizes temporary legislative provisions, trade agreement modifications, or import restrictions. Therefore, this classification is not based on the fundamental chemical identity of Prosulfuron or adjuvants alone, but rather on a specific regulatory action applied to these mixtures. It is crucial to understand that the inclusion of this item under Chapter 99 is driven by external trade policy or regulatory measures, not by a change in the intrinsic properties of the goods themselves.
Given that 9902.09.93 is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. The classification is precise and specific to these mixtures containing Prosulfuron and specified application adjuvants. Any variations in the composition of the mixture, particularly the absence of Prosulfuron or the inclusion of different active ingredients, would necessitate reclassification under the appropriate standard HTS chapter or a different temporary provision if applicable. Importers should carefully review the exact formulation and any accompanying documentation to ensure accurate classification under this specific, temporarily legislated category.
