Overview
This HTS category, 9902.09.96, specifically covers mixtures containing methylsulfanilycarbamate, sodium salt (also known as Asulam sodium salt), identified by CAS Number 2302-17-2, when combined with application adjuvants. These adjuvants are themselves classified under subheading 3808.93.15. The primary function of these mixtures is typically related to agricultural or weed control applications, where the Asulam sodium salt acts as the active ingredient and the adjuvants are included to enhance its effectiveness, stability, or application.
This classification is situated within Chapter 99, which pertains to temporary legislation, modifications proclaimed pursuant to trade agreements, and additional import restrictions. Unlike the vast array of goods found in the primary chapters of the HTS (e.g., live animals in Chapter 1), this category is a specific, temporary provision designed to address particular trade or policy considerations related to this defined mixture. Therefore, it should not be confused with general classifications of chemicals or pesticides in other chapters.
As this node represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 9902.09.96 is definitive once the goods meet the criteria of being a mixture of Asulam sodium salt and application adjuvants classified under 3808.93.15. Importers must ensure that both components are present and correctly identified to utilize this specific temporary provision, which may be subject to change based on evolving trade policies and agricultural regulations.
