Products classified under HTS 3206.49.40.00
Carbon Black Pigment Dispersion for Plastics
A water-based dispersion of carbon black pigment designed for coloring plastic resins and compounds during manufacturing. It falls under HTS 3206.49.40.00 as a preparation based on carbon black used as coloring matter for materials like thermoplastics. This classification applies per chapter note 3 to preparations based on coloring matter.
High-Jetness Carbon Black Ink Base
A specialized preparation of carbon black for use as a base in formulating black printing inks. Classified under HTS 3206.49.40.00 as it's a carbon black-based coloring preparation, not a finished ink or paint dispersion excluded by chapter notes. Ideal for offset and gravure ink production.
Aqueous Carbon Black Dispersion for Coatings
Waterborne carbon black pigment concentrate for architectural and industrial coatings. Falls under HTS 3206.49.40.00 as a preparation based on carbon black for coloring any material, explicitly covered by chapter note 3 before paint formulation.
Conductive Carbon Black Powder Preparation
Furnace black with high structure for antistatic plastics and batteries, supplied as wetted powder preparation. Classified in HTS 3206.49.40.00 when primary function is coloring, though also provides conductivity.
Carbon Black for Inkjet Printer Cartridges
Ultra-fine carbon black dispersion prepared specifically for inkjet ink formulations. HTS 3206.49.40.00 applies to this coloring preparation before final ink assembly per chapter notes.
Black Pigment Paste for Textile Printing
Thickened carbon black paste for rotary screen textile printing. This preparation based on carbon black for fabric coloring is covered by HTS 3206.49.40.00 under chapter note 3.
Carbon Black Color Concentrate for PVC
Liquid carbon black concentrate for coloring rigid PVC profiles and films. Classified as HTS 3206.49.40.00 preparation for PVC coloring applications.
Lampblack Preparation for Artist Paints
Traditional lampblack (carbon black) dispersed in linseed oil for oil paint manufacturing. HTS 3206.49.40.00 covers this as inorganic coloring preparation.
Carbon Black for Powder Coatings
Micronized carbon black powder preparation for thermoset powder coating formulations. Falls under HTS 3206.49.40.00 as coloring matter preparation.
Carbon Black Masterbatch for Polyolefins
Concentrated pellets of polyethylene carrier loaded with 40-50% carbon black for coloring blown films and pipes. This preparation based on carbon black qualifies for HTS 3206.49.40.00 as a coloring ingredient per chapter note 3, distinct from bulk carbon black or finished plastics.
