Overview

This HTS category, 3205.00.40.10, specifically classifies "Yellow" color lakes and preparations derived from them. These are typically pigments or dye preparations used for imparting color, formulated based on color lakes as outlined in Note 3 to Chapter 32 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. The classification implies a focus on yellow hues, distinguishing them from other specific color categories.

The primary distinction for this subcategory lies in its color specificity. Unlike its siblings such as "Red" (3205.00.40.20), "Blue" (3205.00.40.40), or the more general "Other" (3205.00.40.55), this code is dedicated solely to yellow shades. Classification within this category hinges on the dominant or intended color imparted by the pigment or preparation.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories branching from this specific code. Therefore, the classification is definitive for yellow color lakes and their preparations that fall under the broader scope of products described in additional U.S. note 3 to section VI, and are not specifically captured by other more narrowly defined color lake categories.
