Overview
This HTS classification, 9902.10.06, specifically addresses mixtures containing Sulfentrazone (CAS No. 122836-35-5), a chemical known for its herbicidal properties, when combined with application adjuvants. These adjuvants are themselves classified under subheading 3808.93.15, indicating they are intended to enhance the performance or application of pesticides. The primary purpose of this classification is to identify specific temporary modifications or restrictions applied to these particular chemical mixtures, often for agricultural policy or trade agreement purposes under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling HTS codes is crucial for accurate classification. While the broader HTS structure (e.g., Chapter 01 covering live animals) deals with fundamentally different product types, within Chapter 99, other codes may relate to temporary legislation affecting various goods. HTS 9902.10.06 is unique in its precise definition of a mixture involving a specific active ingredient (Sulfentrazone) and its synergistic components (adjuvants), as well as its specific linkage to Section 22 provisions. This detailed specificity ensures that only these particular mixtures are subject to the temporary measures associated with this code.
As a leaf node, HTS 9902.10.06 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, its classification is definitive for the specified mixtures. When encountering a product that falls under this description, import and export professionals should confirm the presence of both Sulfentrazone and application adjuvants, and verify that any associated temporary legislation or trade agreement provisions are being correctly applied to ensure compliance. The key classification criteria revolve around the chemical identity of the active ingredient and the inclusion of specified adjuvants, coupled with the context of its temporary tariff or import restriction status.
