3204.12.17.00 - Acid black 31, 50, 94, 129; Acid blue 54, 127, 129, 143; Acid brown 44, 46, 48, 58, 188, 189; Acid green 40; Acid red 130, 145, 174, 211; Acid violet 31, 41, 48; Acid yellow 2, 75; Mordant black 8; Mordant green 47; andMordant red 17, 27

This HTS subcategory, 3204.12.17.00, encompasses a specific group of acid and mordant dyes that do not fall under other enumerated classifications within the "Acid dyes, whether or not premetallized, and preparations based thereon; mordant dyes and preparations based thereon" grouping. It serves as a catch-all for various acid dyes, such as Acid black 31, 50, 94, and 129; Acid blue 54, 127, 129, and 143; Acid brown 44, 46, 48, 58, 188, and 189; Acid green 40; Acid red 130, 145, 174, and 211; Acid violet 31, 41, and 48; and Acid yellow 2 and 75. Additionally, it includes specific mordant dyes like Mordant black 8, Mordant green 47, and Mordant red 17 and 27.

To distinguish this subcategory from its siblings, it is crucial to note that other codes within 3204.12 are reserved for more specific acid dye types or preparations. For instance, 3204.12.05.00 is for Acid black 210 powder and presscake, and 3204.12.20.00 lists a comprehensive range of other acid dyes. Similarly, 3204.12.13.00 specifically designates Acid violet 19, and 3204.12.30.00 is dedicated to particular mordant dyes. Therefore, 3204.12.17.00 is used when the specific acid or mordant dye, or combination thereof, is not explicitly named in another sub-heading at this level.

As this node is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification into this code relies directly on the accurate identification of the specific dyes listed in its description, ensuring they are synthetic organic coloring matters belonging to the acid or mordant dye families and do not meet the criteria for a more specific classification elsewhere in the tariff schedule.
