While 3809.92.50.00 encompasses other finishing agents and preparations used in the paper or like industries that do not meet the aromatic substance threshold defined in 3809.92.10.00, this category is dedicated to those products where aromatic or modified aromatic compounds play a significant role in their function and formulation.
