Products classified under HTS 3205.00.50.50
Carmine Lake Pigment
Carmine lake is a bright red pigment derived from cochineal insects, precipitated onto an aluminum hydroxide base to form a stable color lake. It falls under HTS 3205.00.50.50 as a color lake preparation used in cosmetics, food coloring, and artists' paints. This classification covers synthetic organic coloring matter fixed on a substrate, excluding retail-packaged dyes.
Phthalocyanine Blue Lake
Phthalocyanine blue lake is a vibrant blue pigment where phthalocyanine dye is adsorbed onto a mineral substrate like aluminum silicate for enhanced lightfastness. Classified under HTS 3205.00.50.50 as a preparation based on color lakes for industrial coatings and plastics. It meets chapter note 3 for use in coloring materials or manufacturing color preparations.
Quinacridone Red Lake
Quinacridone red lake pigment features high-chroma red dye lake-fixed on alumina for use in automotive paints and printing inks. HTS 3205.00.50.50 applies to this other color lake preparation per chapter note 3, excluding retail forms. Its stability makes it ideal for durable exterior coatings.
Aluminum Lake of FD&C Yellow 5
FD&C Yellow 5 (Tartrazine) aluminum lake is a water-insoluble yellow pigment for food, drug, and cosmetic applications, precipitated on aluminum hydroxide. It qualifies under HTS 3205.00.50.50 as a color lake preparation based on synthetic organic dyes as specified in chapter note 3. Certified lakes meet strict purity standards for regulated uses.
Dioxazine Violet Lake Pigment
Dioxazine violet lake offers intense purple pigmentation with excellent fastness, lake-fixed for plastics and coatings applications. HTS 3205.00.50.50 covers this preparation as other color lakes per chapter definitions, used as ingredients in color manufacturing. It provides superior transparency in high-performance formulations.
Beta-Naphthol Red Lake
Beta-naphthol red lake pigment, derived from azo chemistry, provides opaque red coloration fixed on barium or calcium substrates for paints and textiles. Classified HTS 3205.00.50.50 as other color lake preparations used in material coloring per note 3. Traditional lake offers cost-effective opacity.
Lithol Rubine Lake Pigment
Lithol rubine lake delivers bright magenta-red hue, precipitated on rosin or barium for printing ink and packaging applications. HTS 3205.00.50.50 includes this as other color lake preparation based on note 3 specifications for manufacturing use. Known for high tinctorial strength in offset printing.
Manganese Ammonium Lake
Manganese ammonium lake pigment provides yellow-gold tonality fixed for ceramics and glass coloring applications. Falls under HTS 3205.00.50.50 as specified color lake preparation for high-temperature uses per chapter note 3. Heat-stable for kiln firing processes.
