HS Code:
N-{[4-(Cyclopropylcarbamoyl)phenyl]sulfonyl}-2-methoxybenzamide, commonly known as Cyprosulfamide (CAS No. 221667-31-8), falls under HS Code subheading 2935.90.75, which covers sulfonamides not elsewhere specified or included. Cyprosulfamide is primarily used as a herbicide safener in agricultural applications, protecting crops from herbicide damage while maintaining weed control efficacy. It is often used in combination with other active ingredients in herbicide formulations, particularly for cereal crops like maize. This chemical compound is part of the broader category of agrochemicals, which play a critical role in modern farming practices by enhancing crop yield and protecting against pests and weeds.
