Fomesafen Technical Grade
Fomesafen (5-[2-Chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-N-(methylsulfonyl)-2-nitrobenzamide) is a selective contact herbicide used primarily for post-emergence control of broadleaf weeds in soybean and snap bean crops. This sulfonamide compound falls under HTS 2935.90.13.00 as it is specifically named in the tariff description for sulfonamides. It is typically imported as a technical grade active ingredient for formulation into commercial herbicide products.
Import Duty Rates by Country of Origin
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as formulated end-use herbicide product
Formulated pesticide products containing fomesafen as active ingredient are classified in Chapter 38, not as pure chemical compounds.
If considered organo-sulfur compound without sulfonamide function
Chapter notes specify sulfonamides remain in 2935; organo-sulfur compounds without this specific function go to 2930.
