Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

3204.17.60Same rate: 41.5%

If the base dye is nitro or other specified synthetic without laking

Heading 3204 covers unstabilized dye forms, while lakes' insolubility moves them to 3205 per chapter notes.

3207.30.00Lower: 38.1% vs 41.5%

If pigment printed/stamped preparations for retail

Prepared pigments in forms like printed sheets for artists fall under 3207, distinct from bulk lakes.

3208.90.00Lower: 38.2% vs 41.5%

If dissolved in >50% volatile solvents

Chapter note specifies 3208 for solutions where solvent weight exceeds 50%, excluding simple lakes.

Import Tips & Compliance

• Test for heavy metal content (barium) per CPSC limits if for consumer paints; declare accurately to avoid Section 301 tariffs

• Provide particle size distribution data to confirm pigment grade vs. dye, preventing misclassification

• Use ISF filings 24 hours pre-loading for air/sea shipments of pigments to mitigate delays
