Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product is imported as a synthetic organic colouring matter or in a form for retail sale as a dye
Chapter 29 Note 2(g) excludes colouring matter of heading 32.04, so if the product is put up as a dye, it would fall under Chapter 32.
If the product is specifically an aniline derivative
Aniline derivatives are more specifically provided for in subheading 2921.42, which takes precedence over the residual 'other' subheading.
