9902.08.43 - Vat Blue 19 (Anthra[9,1,2-cde]benzo[rst]pentaphene-5,10-dione, bromo derivatives) (CAS No. 1328-18-3) (provided for in subheading 3204.15.30)

This HTS category, 9902.08.43, specifically covers Vat Blue 19, a brominated derivative of Anthra[9,1,2-cde]benzo[rst]pentaphene-5,10-dione. It is important to note that this classification is under Chapter 99, which pertains to temporary legislation and modifications. While the underlying substance is a dyestuff, its inclusion in Chapter 99 signifies special tariff treatment or import restrictions currently in effect. The reference to CAS No. 1328-18-3 provides a unique chemical identifier for precise identification.

Unlike the more general classifications found in earlier chapters that would categorize dyestuffs based on their chemical composition or intended use (e.g., Chapter 32 for paints, inks, and colorants), this entry represents a specific, temporary provision. The classification within subheading 3204.15.30 indicates that this is the permanent classification for Vat Blue 19 outside of any temporary measures, but it is currently subject to the rules and restrictions outlined in Chapter 99. Therefore, importers must consult both this specific 9902 code and the relevant regulations to ensure compliance.

As this is a leaf node within Chapter 99, there are no further subcategories under 9902.08.43. Classification under this heading is definitive and does not branch out to more granular tariff items. The focus is solely on the temporary provisions that apply to Vat Blue 19, distinct from its standard classification in Chapter 32. Importers should be aware that Chapter 99 provisions are subject to change and require careful monitoring.
