Overview
This HTS code, 9902.10.75, specifically designates Poly(vinyl acetate-co-vinyl chloride) (CAS No. 9003-22-9) for tariff and import restriction purposes. While the primary classification of this copolymer would typically fall under Chapter 39 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule (specifically, the parenthetical reference points to subheading 3904.30.60), this Chapter 99 code indicates a temporary modification or additional import restriction applied to this particular substance. These provisions are often implemented under trade agreements or Section 22 of the Agricultural Adjustment Act.
Given that this is a leaf node within Chapter 99, there are no further subcategories. The key classification criterion here is the specific chemical identity of Poly(vinyl acetate-co-vinyl chloride) as identified by its CAS number. Its distinctiveness from other entries at the same level within Chapter 99 would lie in the specific chemical composition and any unique import restrictions or temporary tariff treatments associated with it, as opposed to other temporarily regulated or specially classified goods. Understanding the purpose of its inclusion in Chapter 99 is crucial for accurate import compliance.
