Overview

This HTS classification, 3204.17.40.15, specifically designates "Pigment red 149" in its dry form or as a presscake. This subcategory falls under the broader group of pigments and preparations based on synthetic organic coloring matter, distinct from other specific isoindolenine red pigments or general "other" pigment categories at this level. The focus here is on the precise chemical identity and physical form of Pigment red 149, a synthetic organic pigment valued for its color properties.

This classification is differentiated from its sibling, 3204.17.40.30, which covers Pigment red 214. While both are synthetic organic red pigments, Pigment red 149 possesses distinct chemical properties and applications that warrant its separate classification. The "other" category, 3204.17.40.90, serves as a residual classification for any synthetic organic red pigments not explicitly listed.

As this node represents a leaf node in the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification under 3204.17.40.15 is final and depends on the confirmation that the imported product is indeed Pigment red 149, whether in dry powder form or as a presscake, consistent with its chemical definition and common industry nomenclature.
