3204.17.90 - Other

This category, HTS Code 3204.17.90, encompasses "Other" synthetic organic pigments and preparations based thereon that do not fall under specific preceding classifications within the broader category of synthetic organic coloring matter. It serves as a residual category for various synthetic organic pigments and their associated preparations that are not otherwise specifically enumerated at this level of detail.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 3204.17.60, it is important to note that 3204.17.60 is reserved for products specifically described by additional U.S. note 3 to section VI. Therefore, HTS 3204.17.90 is for all other synthetic organic pigments and their preparations that do not meet the criteria of that specific additional note.

The subcategories under 3204.17.90 provide for the specific classification of widely used synthetic organic pigments and preparations thereof, such as Pigment blue 15:3 (in dry, presscake, or aqueous slurry form, and as preparations), Pigment red 57:1 (similarly), Pigment blue 61, Pigment green 7, Pigment green 36, Pigment red 122, Pigment red 149, and Pigment red 179, among others. This granular breakdown allows for more precise tariff assessment based on the precise chemical identity and form of the pigment or pigment preparation.
