Overview
This HTS classification, 9902.10.64, designates specific telomerized acrylate esters with a complex chemical composition. It covers a particular mixture of 2-Propenoic acid, C12-C14-alkyl esters, telomers with ethylene, 2-ethylhexyl acrylate, propanal, and vinyl acetate, identified by CAS No. 923958-45-6. The provision specifies that these goods are "provided for in subheading 3901.90.90," indicating a primary classification within the broader category of other polymers of ethylene, in primary forms. However, this specific 9902 code signifies a temporary modification or restriction applied to this particular product.
As a temporary legislation code within Chapter 99, this entry is distinct from the permanent HTS classifications found in Chapters 1-97. While sibling categories at the root level (e.g., live animals) are fundamentally different in their nature and purpose, the relevant distinction for 9902.10.64 lies in its function as a special provision. It does not represent a broad class of goods but rather a specific chemical substance that has been subjected to particular trade policies or restrictions under temporary legislation. Its purpose is to track and manage the importation of this precise telomerized ester blend, differentiating it from other chemical compounds or polymers that might fall under different HTS classifications.
Since this is a leaf node, there are no subcategories to introduce. The classification is specific and does not require further subdivision at this level. Classification professionals should refer to the specific notes and rulings associated with Chapter 99 and the underlying subheading 3901.90.90 for complete import requirements and any applicable duties, quotas, or restrictions. The presence of this code signifies a need for careful examination of the imported goods against the detailed chemical description provided.
