3204.12.13.00 - Acid violet 19

This HTS classification, 3204.12.13.00, specifically covers Acid Violet 19. As a subcategory of acid dyes, it falls under the broader heading for synthetic organic coloring matter. Acid dyes are typically water-soluble and are used for dyeing materials such as wool, silk, nylon, and modified acrylic fibers, where they form ionic bonds with the fiber. Acid Violet 19 is a distinct chemical entity identified by its specific color index name.

To distinguish this code from its siblings, it is important to note that other codes within the 3204.12 subheading list specific color index names for various other acid dyes (e.g., Acid Black 210, Acid Black 31, etc.) or provide extensive lists of other acid dyes and mordant dyes. The "Other" category at the same level is a catch-all for acid dyes not specifically enumerated elsewhere. This code, 3204.12.13.00, is specific to the precise dye known as Acid Violet 19, implying a singular, precisely defined chemical compound or preparation thereof.

As this classification is a leaf node, it has no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus is on the precise identification of Acid Violet 19 and its correct placement within the acid dye classification. Classification under this code relies on the identification of the product as Acid Violet 19, a synthetic organic acid dye, based on its chemical composition and intended use in coloration.
