HS Code:
Mixtures of 2-methyl-1-nitro-3-(tetrahydro-2-furanylmethyl)guanidine, commonly known as Dinotefuran (CAS No. 165252-70-0), with application adjuvants, fall under HS Code 3808.91.50. Dinotefuran is a neonicotinoid insecticide used primarily in agriculture to control a wide range of pests such as aphids, whiteflies, and beetles. It is highly effective due to its systemic action and is often formulated with adjuvants to enhance its application and efficacy. This product category is critical in the global agrochemical market, supporting crop protection and yield optimization. Trade in this category is influenced by agricultural demand, regulatory frameworks on pesticide use, and environmental concerns regarding neonicotinoids.
