About heading 3204
Synthetic organic coloring matter, whether or not chemically defined; preparations as specified in note 3 to this chapter based on synthetic organic coloring matter; synthetic organic products of a kind used as fluorescent brightening agents or as luminophores, whether or not chemically defined
Heading 3204 covers synthetic organic coloring matter, whether or not chemically defined, plus preparations based on it as defined in note 3 to chapter 32. It also covers synthetic organic products used as fluorescent brightening agents or luminophores. The heading splits first by dye class: disperse, acid and mordant, basic, direct, vat, reactive, pigments, carotenoid, solvent dyes, fluorescent brightening agents, and a residual other group. Most lines carry a 6.5% general (MFN) rate, with selected lines free or lower.

Frequently asked questions
What is the HTS code for a disperse dye not named in the list?
Unnamed disperse dyes and preparations based on them fall in 3204.11.50.00, at 6.5% general (MFN). Disperse dyes named in the tariff, such as Disperse blue 30, are listed separately, for example 3204.11.15.00 at 6.5% general (MFN).
What is the duty on reactive dyes?
Most reactive dyes are dutiable at 6.5% general (MFN), for example Reactive black 1 and Reactive blue 1, 2 and 4 under 3204.16.10.00. Reactive dyes not named elsewhere fall in 3204.16.50.00, also at 6.5% general (MFN).
How do I classify an organic pigment such as Pigment blue 15:3?
Use the Colour Index pigment name and the physical form. Pigment blue 15:3 in dry, presscake or aqueous slurry form goes in 3204.17.90.02 at 6.5% general (MFN), and preparations based on it go in 3204.17.90.03 at 6.5% general (MFN). Pigment red 149 is an example of a free line, 3204.17.40.15 at Free.
