3204.16.10.00 - Reactive black 1; Reactive blue 1, 2, 4; Reactive orange 1; Reactive red 1, 2, 3, 5, 6; and Reactive yellow 1

This HTS category, 3204.16.10.00, specifically covers a defined list of common reactive dyes, including Reactive black 1, Reactive blue 1, 2, 4, Reactive orange 1, Reactive red 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and Reactive yellow 1. These are synthetic organic coloring matters characterized by their ability to form covalent bonds with the substrate, typically cellulosic fibers. Their inclusion at this precise HTS code is based on the specific chemical identity and common commercial availability of these particular reactive dye types.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 3204.16.20.00, which encompasses a much broader range of reactive dyes. While 3204.16.10.00 lists individual, specific reactive dyes, the sibling category includes a long list of numerous other reactive dyes by name, as well as various mixtures of reactive dyes identified by specific weight percentages. Therefore, classification under 3204.16.10.00 is reserved for the exact dyes listed, whereas 3204.16.20.00 accounts for a more extensive and varied collection of reactive dyestuffs and preparations.

As 3204.16.10.00 represents a specific leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is definitive based on the presence of the listed reactive dyes. Importers and exporters should carefully verify that the imported or exported product precisely matches one of the dyes enumerated in the description for correct classification.
