3204.19.25.60 - Solvent yellow 33

This HTS classification, 3204.19.25.60, specifically covers Solvent Yellow 33, a synthetic organic coloring matter. It falls under the broader category of solvent dyes, which are characterized by their solubility in organic solvents rather than water. These dyes are typically used to impart color to plastics, waxes, inks, and other non-aqueous materials where a high degree of transparency or brilliance is desired.

Within the "Solvent dyes and preparations based thereon: Other: Other" level, this sub-subheading distinguishes Solvent Yellow 33 from other specific solvent dyes like Solvent Red 135 (3204.19.25.20) and Solvent Orange 60 (3204.19.25.40). While all are solvent dyes, their chemical structures and resulting coloristic properties are distinct, leading to their separate HTS designations. This entry is for the specific dye identified as Solvent Yellow 33, and any other unnamed or unspecified solvent dyes or preparations based thereon would fall under the residual category 3204.19.25.95.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subcategories that subdivide this classification. Therefore, classification at this level relies on the precise identification of the coloring matter as Solvent Yellow 33. The key criterion for classification here is the specific chemical identity and common name of the dye itself, distinguishing it from other solvent dyes or mixtures thereof.
