Overview
This HTS classification, 3204.17.08.00, specifically covers certain **synthetic organic pigments**, namely Pigment red 178, and Pigment yellow 101 and 138. These are chemically defined organic compounds used primarily for their coloring properties in various applications, falling under the broader category of synthetic organic coloring matter.
It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. Unlike 3204.17.04, which lists a wide array of other specific pigments, or 3204.17.40, which includes isoindolenine red and other specified red and yellow pigments, this subcategory is narrowly defined for the aforementioned pigments. Furthermore, 3204.17.20.00 covers a specific copper phthalocyanine compound that is not yet prepared for use as a pigment, indicating a difference in readiness and form.
As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 3204.17.08.00 represents the most specific classification for Pigment red 178, Pigment yellow 101, and Pigment yellow 138. Therefore, classification under this code hinges on the precise identification of these particular synthetic organic pigments, based on their chemical composition and intended use as coloring agents.
