3201.20.00.00 - Wattle extract 🖩

HTS code 3201.20.00.00 specifically covers "Wattle extract." This classification falls under the broader Chapter 32, which deals with tanning or dyeing extracts, dyes, pigments, and related products. Wattle extract is derived from the bark of acacia trees and is primarily utilized as a natural tanning agent in the leather industry due to its high tannin content. It is also employed in other applications such as wood adhesives and animal feed supplements.

While sibling categories like Quebracho extract (3201.10.00.00) are also vegetable-derived tanning agents, Wattle extract is distinct due to its origin from acacia species. The "Other" category (3201.90) would encompass tanning extracts from vegetable sources not specifically enumerated. This leaf node for Wattle extract signifies that further subdivision within this specific product is not provided by the HTS, meaning all variations and forms of wattle extract are classified here.
