9902.11.60 - Propylene glycol alginates (CAS No. 9005-37-2) (provided for in subheading 3913.10.00)

HTS Code 9902.11.60 specifically covers propylene glycol alginates, identified by CAS Number 9005-37-2. This classification falls under Section XXII, which pertains to temporary legislation, trade agreements, and additional import restrictions proclaimed under specific agricultural acts. While other HTS codes in Chapter 99 might address temporary modifications or restrictions, this particular code is reserved for this specific chemical compound.

Unlike the broadly categorized goods found in Chapter 01 (Live Animals) or other foundational chapters of the HTS, this code represents a highly specialized item with a direct reference to its primary classification in subheading 3913.10.00. This indicates that propylene glycol alginates, when not subject to the temporary provisions of Chapter 99, would normally be classified under Chapter 39 as other natural polymers, chemically modified, or synthetic polymers. The presence of this code in Chapter 99 signifies a specific trade or policy measure that temporarily modifies the import treatment of this substance.

As a leaf node, HTS Code 9902.11.60 does not have further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on the precise definition and application of this temporary classification for propylene glycol alginates. Importers and customs brokers should note that this code indicates a specific set of regulations or conditions that apply to the importation of this substance, potentially related to quantity limits, specific documentation requirements, or duty rates, as determined by the temporary legislation or proclamation.
