3204.17.60.85 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, "Other," within "Pigments and preparations based thereon," specifically encompasses synthetic organic pigments and related preparations that do not fall under the more precisely defined subcategories. These include pigments that are not chemically defined or do not align with the specific pigment designations listed as siblings, such as Pigment blue 15 and its variations. The classification here is for residual items within the broader scope of synthetic organic pigments.

The distinction between this "Other" category and its siblings lies in the specificity of the chemical identity or common designation of the pigment. While siblings like Pigment blue 15 are clearly identified by their specific chemical structure and trade name, this category acts as a catch-all for synthetic organic pigments that may be less common, are custom formulations, or whose precise designation doesn't fit into a pre-established sub-classification at this level. Classification within this node relies on the understanding that the product is a synthetic organic coloring matter, is a pigment or preparation thereof, and does not meet the criteria for the more specific sibling entries.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, the focus for classification under 3204.17.60.85 is on accurately identifying the material as a synthetic organic pigment or a preparation based on such a pigment, and ensuring it has been correctly determined not to belong to any of the preceding, more specific pigment categories. This ensures that all synthetic organic pigments are properly accounted for within the HTS system.
