Overview
This HTS category, 9902.10.17, specifically covers the herbicide Flazasulfuron, identified by CAS No. 104040-78-0. The formal description denotes it as "Formulations of 1-(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)-3-[3-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl] sulfonylurea". This classification falls under Chapter 99, which pertains to temporary legislation, modifications, and additional import restrictions, often enacted under specific trade agreements or agricultural adjustment acts.
Distinguishing this specific classification from its sibling categories at the root level is straightforward. Unlike the broad categories of live animals (0101 through 0105) or other general merchandise that might be found at higher levels of the HTS, 9902.10.17 is a highly specialized entry. Its purpose is not to classify a commodity for general trade but to impose specific, often temporary, restrictions or reporting requirements on a particular chemical compound used in agriculture.
As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, it has no subcategories. Its detailed description and reference to a specific CAS number indicate that the classification is at its most granular level. The "provided for in subheading 3808.93.50" notation indicates that while this chapter 99 provision may impose additional requirements or modify the treatment, the underlying good is originally classified under heading 3808, which covers disinfectants, insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and similar products.
