9902.10.05 - Mixtures of 1-(2-methylcyclohexyl)-3-phenylurea (Siduron) (CAS No. 1982-49-6) and inert ingredients (provided for in subheading 3808.93.15)

This HTS category, 9902.10.05, is specifically designated for mixtures containing 1-(2-methylcyclohexyl)-3-phenylurea, also known as Siduron. These mixtures are intended for use as pesticides, herbicides, or insecticides, and must also contain inert ingredients. Crucially, the inert ingredients within these mixtures must be classifiable under subheading 3808.93.15 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. This classification applies to formulations of other pesticides, herbicides, or insecticides, put up in forms or packings for retail sale or as preparations or articles.

Unlike the vast majority of sibling categories within the HTS, which cover a broad range of goods from live animals to manufactured products, 9902.10.05 is a temporary legislative provision. Its existence is tied to specific trade agreements or statutory measures, such as Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act. Therefore, it does not represent a permanent classification based on the inherent nature of the goods but rather a temporary or conditional status. This distinction is vital, as goods falling under this chapter are subject to specific import restrictions or modifications outside the standard classification framework.

As a leaf node, HTS code 9902.10.05 does not have subcategories. All qualifying mixtures of Siduron and inert ingredients, provided the inert ingredients meet the criteria of subheading 3808.93.15, will be classified directly under this code. Classification hinges on the presence of Siduron and the nature of the inert ingredients, alongside adherence to any temporary legislative provisions that necessitate its use.
