3204.17.04.20 - Pigment orange 36

This classification pertains to Pigment orange 36, a specific type of synthetic organic coloring matter. As part of heading 3204, it falls under the broader category of synthetic organic coloring matter, fluorescent brightening agents, and luminophores. Within this scope, it is further refined to specifically include pigments and preparations based on these synthetic organic compounds. Pigment orange 36 is recognized for its distinct chemical composition and its intended use as a coloring agent, contributing a specific hue within the orange spectrum.

The distinction of Pigment orange 36 from its siblings, such as Pigment blue 16 or Pigment red 144, lies in its precise chemical identity and resultant color. Each HTS code at this level identifies a unique pigment by its established nomenclature (e.g., "Pigment orange 36"). Therefore, the classification hinges on the specific chemical structure and properties that define Pigment orange 36, differentiating it from other named pigments even when they belong to the same color family or are synthetically derived.

As a leaf node in the HTS classification structure, Pigment orange 36 does not have further subdivisions. This means that any product classifiable as Pigment orange 36 will be directly assigned to this specific HTS code, provided it meets the definitional criteria of this pigment. Classification at this level requires precise identification of the substance to ensure accurate duty assessment and trade compliance, relying on the established chemical nomenclature and recognized pigment standards.
