Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If polyethylene carrier exceeds 80% by weight
Primary resin classification under Chapter 39 supersedes minor coloring function.
If prepared with fused silica or quartz glass pigments
Chapter exclusion (a) directs such inorganic preparations to 3207.
If dispersed for direct retail paint tinting
Retail dispersions for paints fall under 3212 per chapter note exclusions.
