About Duty Rates: Rates are divided into Column 1 and Column 2. Column 1 is subdivided into General (normal trade relations rates for all countries not eligible for special programs) and Special (preferential rates for countries with free trade agreements or preference programs). Column 2 rates apply to products from Cuba, North Korea, Belarus, and Russia. When no special rate exists for a classification, General rates apply.

Overview

This HTS classification covers couplers specifically designed for use in color negative photographic paper. These chemical compounds play a crucial role in the color development process, reacting with oxidized color developers to form image dyes. The specific functionality of these couplers is tied to their chemical structure and their ability to produce particular colors (cyan, magenta, or yellow) in the final photographic image when exposed to light and processed.

At this level, 2933.19.30.10 is distinguished from its sibling category, 2933.19.30.95 ("Other"), by its explicit designation for use in color negative photographic paper. While both fall under aromatic or modified aromatic heterocyclic compounds containing an unfused pyrazole ring, this subheading narrows the scope to a particular application within the photographic industry. The "Other" category would encompass similar pyrazole compounds not intended for this specific photographic purpose.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this code hinges on the precise chemical identity of the coupler and its documented intended use as a component in color negative photographic paper. Importers must ensure that the merchandise precisely matches the function and application described to correctly utilize this subheading.
