Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If supplied as water-soluble dye before lake formation
Unprecipitated synthetic dyes like Acid Yellow 23 classify under 3204 as acid dyes, not lakes.
If dispersed in nonaqueous media for paint manufacturing
Chapter note 3 excludes pigments dispersed in nonaqueous media from 3205, directing to 3212.
If formulated as a solution in >50% organic solvent
Heading 3208 covers such preparations based on chapter 32 products in volatile solvents.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Verify the lake is precipitated on an inert base like alumina to qualify under 3205; provide lab analysis if challenged
• Include Certificates of Analysis confirming color index (C.I. 19140) and purity >85% for U.S. note 3 compliance
• Avoid misclassification as synthetic organic dye (3204) by documenting insolubility in water
