3204.17.90.55 - Pigment yellow 74 🖩

This HTS category, 3204.17.90.55, specifically classifies "Pigment yellow 74." This refers to a distinct synthetic organic coloring matter, characterized by its yellow hue and specific chemical structure that defines its properties as a pigment. These pigments are typically inorganic solids that are insoluble in the medium in which they are applied, providing color by selective absorption and scattering of light.

Distinguishing Pigment yellow 74 from its sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. While siblings like Pigment blue 15:3, Pigment green 7, and others cover different colored synthetic organic pigments, this code is narrowly focused on the identification and classification of pigment yellow 74. The variations in the sibling codes reflect the unique chemical identities and thus the distinct classification treatment of each individual pigment. This level of specificity ensures that trade data accurately reflects the types of coloring agents being imported or exported.

As this HTS code represents a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under 3204.17.90.55. This indicates that the classification is sufficiently granular at this point to encompass all variations of Pigment yellow 74, regardless of its physical form (e.g., dry powder, presscake, or aqueous slurry), provided it meets the general criteria for synthetic organic pigments under Chapter 32. Therefore, classification decisions at this level should focus on confirming the identity of the substance as Pigment yellow 74.
