3206.20.00.50 - Other 🖩

This HTS category, 3206.20.00.50, encompasses "Other" pigments and preparations based on chromium compounds that are not specifically identified under the preceding subheadings within 3206.20. These are inorganic coloring agents primarily used for their pigmenting properties, where the essential coloring agent is derived from chromium compounds. While the primary function is coloration, the preparations might also incorporate binders, fillers, or other additives to enhance their application or performance characteristics.

Distinct from the sibling categories of "Chrome yellow" (3206.20.00.10), "Molybdenum orange" (3206.20.00.20), and "Zinc yellow" (3206.20.00.30), this residual category applies to chromium-based pigments and preparations that do not precisely match the specific chemical compositions or common trade names of those defined subheadings. Classification into this category would occur when the product is clearly a chromium-based pigment or preparation but does not conform to the distinct characteristics of yellow lead chromate, molybdenum orange (a mixed lead chromate-molybdate pigment), or zinc chromate.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS structure, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification of goods under 3206.20.00.50 relies on a careful examination of the product's composition and its exclusion from more specifically defined chromium pigment subheadings at this level. The "Other" designation signifies that this category serves as a catch-all for any remaining chromium-based pigments and preparations that meet the general description of heading 3206 but are not otherwise enumerated.
