Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If used as fluorescent brightener
Inorganic/organic luminophores go to 3206, separate from standard solvent coloring matter.
If polymer-bound color concentrate
Color masterbatches classified by polymer base in Chapter 39, not as dyes.
If acid dye form
Acid dyes for wool/silk are in 3204.17; solvent dyes dissolve in organics, not water.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Include end-use declaration for plastics to support classification; test for migration compliance with FDA if food-contact plastics; avoid moisture exposure as solvent dyes are hydrophobic
