3204.19.25.95 - Other

This HTS category, 3204.19.25.95, encompasses a broad range of synthetic organic coloring matter that do not fit into more specific classifications within the "Solvent dyes and preparations based thereon" subheadings. This "Other" designation serves as a residual category for solvent dyes and their preparations that are chemically defined or mixed, but are not explicitly listed under preceding subheadings. These coloring matters are characterized by their solubility in organic solvents, making them suitable for applications where water-based dyes are not effective, such as in plastics, inks, and certain coatings.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings is crucial for accurate classification. While siblings like Solvent Red 135, Solvent Orange 60, and Solvent Yellow 33 represent specific, named solvent dyes, this category covers all other solvent dyes and their preparations that do not correspond to those specific examples. This includes novel synthetic solvent dyes, or mixtures of solvent dyes that, when combined, do not conform to the identity of any single named sibling dye. The classification relies on identifying the chemical nature of the coloring matter and its primary application as a solvent dye.

As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 3204.19.25.95 is determined by the absence of a more specific classification under preceding subheadings. Importers and exporters should carefully review the chemical composition and intended use of their solvent dyes to ensure they are not mistakenly classified elsewhere before resorting to this residual category.
