High-Chroma Pigment Blue 61 Dispersion Base
Concentrated Pigment Blue 61 in minimal aqueous media for easy dispersion in inks and coatings, maintaining pigment insolubility per definition. HTS 3204.17.90.06 covers this as a preparation based on synthetic organic coloring matter per note 3, specifically identified as Pigment blue 61. Excluded forms like nonaqueous paint pastes would shift classification.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If prepared with varnish/glue medium for printing inks
Heading 3211 covers prepared ink colors, excluding from 3204 pigments.
If mixed with mineral coloring matter extenders
Preparations with Chapter 25/28 minerals classify under 3207, not pure synthetic 3204.
If contains luminophore-grade phosphors
Luminophores based on synthetic organics move to 3206 or inorganic Chapter 28.
