Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If dispersed in volatile organic solvents over 50% by weight
Chapter note specifies solvent-based solutions of polymers with >50% solvent shift to heading 3208, excluding pure pigment preparations.
If for industrial masterbatch use as polymer color concentrate
If extruded into pellet form with base resin dominating, it becomes a polymer mixture under Chapter 39 rather than a Chapter 32 coloring preparation.
If further processed into a printing ink base
Pigment preparations used directly in ink manufacturing are classified in heading 3215, distinct from general coloring matter.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Provide lab reports showing pigment-to-vehicle ratio to prove it's a Note 3 preparation, preventing shift to paint preparations in 3210 or 3212
• Ensure containers are industrial-sized (e.g
• 25kg drums) with bulk labeling to avoid retail packing misclassification
