2821.10.00.20 - Red

This HTS category, 2821.10.00.20, specifically covers synthetic red iron oxides and hydroxides used as pigments. These are chemical compounds, primarily iron oxides and/or hydroxides, manufactured synthetically to achieve a distinct red color. They are intended for use as colorants in various industrial applications.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 2821.10.00.10 (Black) and 2821.10.00.30 (Yellow), is the specific hue. While all fall under synthetic pigments of iron oxides and hydroxides, the defining characteristic here is the red color. Category 2821.10.00.40 covers synthetic pigments of iron oxides and hydroxides that do not fit the specific color descriptions of red, black, or yellow.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this specific code is determined by the presence of synthetic iron oxides and hydroxides whose primary characteristic and intended use is to impart a red color. Practical examples would include synthetic red iron oxide pigments used in paints, coatings, plastics, or construction materials where a red coloration is desired.
