Overview
This HTS category, 9902.10.12, specifically covers mixtures containing the herbicide Orthosulfamuron (CAS No. 213464-77-8) along with application adjuvants. Orthosulfamuron is a sulfonylurea herbicide used for weed control. The inclusion of application adjuvants, which are typically substances added to enhance the efficacy or application of pesticides, is a defining characteristic of this classification.
Given the context of Section XXII and Chapter 99, this code represents a temporary measure or a specific modification to standard tariff treatment. It distinguishes itself from sibling categories by its unique focus on this particular herbicide mixture, rather than broader classifications of agricultural chemicals or general mixtures found elsewhere in the HTS. Unlike general chemical headings, this code is tied to specific trade agreements or special provisions.
As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the practical classification criteria will focus on confirming the presence of Orthosulfamuron as the active ingredient and the inclusion of application adjuvants as described. Importers must ensure that their imported goods precisely match the chemical identity and composition outlined in the description to fall under this specific temporary classification provision.
