Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If iron oxide-based rather than hexacyanoferrate
Specific inorganic pigments like iron oxides have separate 3206 codes.
If when pre-dispersed in plastic carrier at high concentrations
Pigment masterbatches treated as plastic materials in Chapter 39.
If for stamping foils incorporating the pigment
Chapter notes define stamping foils in 3212 using metal/pigment sheets.
