3204.15.40.00 - Products described in additional U.S. note 3 to section VI 🖩

This classification, HTS Code 3204.15.40.00, encompasses products that fall under the specific provisions of additional U.S. note 3 to Section VI. This note provides a crucial definition for certain goods that might otherwise appear in multiple headings. Specifically, it designates certain synthetic organic coloring matters, and preparations based thereon, as being classified under this particular code when they meet the criteria outlined in that note. These products are synthetic organic dyes or pigments that are chemically defined.

The primary distinction of this leaf node lies in its reliance on a specific U.S. additional note for its definition. Unlike its sibling category, 3204.15.80.00, which is a general catch-all for "Other" synthetic organic coloring matter, this classification is precisely defined by external criteria. This means that goods classified here are not merely a residual category but are specifically identified by the terms of additional U.S. note 3, which may relate to their specific chemical structure, intended use, or formulation.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories within HTS Code 3204.15.40.00. Therefore, the classification of a product under this code is final and depends entirely on its conformity with the detailed requirements of additional U.S. note 3 to Section VI. Importers and exporters should carefully consult this note to ensure accurate classification. Examples of products that might fall under this code include specific chemically defined synthetic organic dyes or pigments that are explicitly listed or described within the scope of that additional U.S. note.
