9902.10.16 - Mixtures of S-(2,3,3-trichloro-2-propen-1-yl) diisopropylcarbamothioate (Triallate) (CAS No. 2303-17-5) and 2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)aniline (Trifluralin) (CAS No. 1582-09-8) (provided for in subheading 3808.93.50)

This HTS category, 9902.10.16, specifically covers pre-defined mixtures of two agricultural herbicides: S-(2,3,3-trichloro-2-propen-1-yl) diisopropylcarbamothioate (Triallate) and 2,6-dinitro-N,N-dipropyl-4-(trifluoromethyl)aniline (Trifluralin). These mixtures are intended for use in agricultural applications and are subject to specific temporary legislation and import restrictions. The inclusion of this temporary HTS code signifies a departure from the standard classification for these substances under subheading 3808.93.50, indicating a unique trade policy or regulatory treatment.

Distinguishing this category from its direct siblings within Chapter 99 is crucial for accurate customs declaration. While other codes in Chapter 99 may address temporary modifications or special provisions for various goods, 9902.10.16 is exclusively designated for these particular herbicide mixtures. It does not cover single herbicide components, unrelated agricultural chemicals, or other types of temporary import measures found elsewhere in this chapter.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories to explore under 9902.10.16. Therefore, the classification process for goods falling under this code relies solely on verifying the presence and composition of the specified Triallate and Trifluralin mixture. Importers and exporters must ensure that the goods presented for clearance precisely match the description provided for this temporary tariff provision, as deviations may lead to classification under the standard tariff or necessitate a different temporary provision if applicable.
