Alternative Classifications

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

3204.11Lower: 16.5% vs 35%

If the product is a different named basic dye like Disperse Blue variants

Heading 3204.11 covers other specific basic dyes; exact chemical name determines subheading.

3204.19.20Higher: 41.5% vs 35%

If for basic dye preparations dispersed in aqueous media for direct application

Preparations based on basic dyes per note 3 fall under 3204.19 when not pure compounds.

3824.99Lower: 15% vs 35%

If sold as part of a multi-component dye formulation mixture

Complex dye mixtures with >50% non-coloring chemicals classify as chemical preparations in Chapter 38.
