9902.10.50 - Preparations based on N-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-N'-[4-(10-methylundecyl)phenyl] ethanediamide (CAS No. 82493-14-9) (provided for in subheading 3824.99.28)

This HTS classification, 9902.10.50, pertains to a specific chemical preparation, namely N-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-N'-[4-(10-methylundecyl)phenyl] ethanediamide, identified by CAS No. 82493-14-9. While the general HTS system categorizes goods by material and function, Chapter 99, under which this code resides, is reserved for temporary legislation, trade agreement modifications, and specific import restrictions. Therefore, this classification signifies a deviation from the standard tariff treatment, likely due to policy decisions rather than inherent product characteristics.

Distinguishing this category from its direct siblings, which primarily encompass live animals (e.g., horses, bovine animals, swine, sheep, goats, and poultry), is straightforward. Category 9902.10.50 is not related to livestock but rather to a specialized chemical compound. Its presence within Chapter 99 indicates that its classification is driven by its inclusion in a specific trade agreement or a temporary modification to import rules, rather than its direct comparability to the broad categories of live animals.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. The classification of N-(2-ethoxyphenyl)-N'-[4-(10-methylundecyl)phenyl] ethanediamide under 9902.10.50 signifies a definitive treatment for this particular chemical. Its reference to subheading 3824.99.28 in its description indicates that, in the absence of this temporary provision, it would typically fall under other miscellaneous manufactured articles. However, the Chapter 99 designation takes precedence, imposing specific import conditions or duties as dictated by the relevant temporary legislation.
