Overview
HTS Code 9902.10.68 specifically classifies Poly(propylene-co-ethylene) (CAS No. 9010-79-1) when it is provided for under the general provisions of subheading 3902.30.00. This indicates a copolymer of propylene and ethylene that falls within the broader category of other primary forms of poly-primary-olefins. The inclusion of this specific HTS code within Chapter 99 signifies a temporary classification or modification, often due to trade agreements or specific import restrictions under Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.
Unlike the sibling categories in Chapters 01 through 38, which cover a vast array of goods from live animals to manufactured products based on their inherent physical and chemical properties, this node is distinguished by its placement in Chapter 99. This chapter is reserved for temporary legislative measures and special provisions. Therefore, the classification here is not solely based on the intrinsic nature of the poly(propylene-co-ethylene) but also on its context within current trade policy.
As a leaf node, HTS Code 9902.10.68 has no further subcategories. Its function is to provide a specific tariff treatment for this particular copolymer under the conditions stipulated by its Chapter 99 designation. Importers and customs brokers should refer to the specific proclamations and regulations associated with this code to understand its full implications regarding duties, quotas, or other import requirements, in addition to the base tariff classification under subheading 3902.30.00.
