Fast Blue Base BN

Fast Blue Base BN is a diazotizable aniline derivative salt serving as a fast color base for naphthol coupling in ice dye processes. It produces navy blue shades with excellent wash and light fastness on cellulosic fibers. Falls under HTS 2921.42.55.00 due to its aromatic amine-function structure optimized for stable azoic color development.

Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

3204.19.40.00Same rate: 16.5%

If for use as synthetic dye component in finished preparation

If supplied ready for dyeing application rather than as pure chemical intermediate, moves to Chapter 32 synthetic organic dyes.

2921.49.50.00Higher: 31.5% vs 16.5%

If other aromatic monoamine derivatives not specifically fast color bases

Aniline derivatives without specialized dyeing function use the residual 'other' subheading within the same amine-function group.

2933.99.79.00Lower: 6.5% vs 16.5%

If containing heterocyclic ring structures beyond simple aniline

More complex quaternary ammonium or heterocyclic amine derivatives shift to later Chapter 29 headings per numerical order rule.

Import Tips & Compliance

Provide technical data sheets proving diazotization capability and naphthol compatibility to confirm fast color base status under Chapter 29 amine compounds

Ensure packaging prevents moisture absorption, as stabilized forms with anticaking agents remain classified here per Chapter Note 2(f)

Avoid bulk aqueous solutions exceeding safety/transport standards, which could reclassify under Note 2(e) solvent provisions
