Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "32" represent dyes, pigments, tanning agents, and other coloring chemicals.

Specifically, this chapter includes:

• Dyes: Chemicals used to color textiles, leather, paper, food, and various other materials.
• Pigments: Inorganic or organic compounds that are insoluble in a medium and provide color through dispersion or coloring.
• Tanning agents: Chemicals used to convert animal hides into leather.
• Other coloring chemicals: Various auxiliary agents and intermediates used for dyeing, printing, and coloring.

Why is it "32"?

This chapter is classified based on the chemical properties and use of the product, meaning their primary function is to provide color or perform dyeing treatments. These are chemicals specifically used for coloring and processing in the chemical industry.

If you can provide a more specific HS code (e.g., 3204.11), I can provide a more detailed classification explanation.

The first four digits of the HS code 3208 represent:

Classification: Paints and varnishes (including those based on synthetic polymers or chemically modified natural polymers), dispersed or dissolved in non-aqueous media; solutions as defined in note 4 of this chapter.

Meaning: This refers to paints, varnishes, enamels, and lacquers based on synthetic resins or chemically modified natural resins, dispersed or dissolved in non-aqueous solvents. It also includes solutions defined in note 4 of this chapter.

6-digit explanation: HS code: 3208.90

Classification: Various paints and varnishes (including enamels and lacquers), based on synthetic polymers or chemically modified natural polymers, dispersed or dissolved in non-aqueous media; solutions as defined in note 4 of this chapter; --> Other.

Meaning: This code covers paints and varnishes based on synthetic polymers or chemically modified natural polymers, which are dispersed or dissolved in non-aqueous media. It also includes solutions defined in note 4 of this chapter, as well as other paints and varnishes not specifically listed.

8-10 digit explanation: HS code: 3208900000 Classification: Paints and varnishes (including enamels and lacquers) based on synthetic polymers or chemically modified natural polymers, dispersed or dissolved in non-aqueous media, or solutions as defined in note 4 of this chapter: Other

Explanation: This HS code covers paints and varnishes (including enamels and lacquers) based on synthetic polymers or chemically modified natural polymers, dispersed or dissolved in non-aqueous media, or other paints and varnishes that belong to the solutions defined in note 4 of this chapter.

Examples of products: * Acrylic-based paint * Epoxy resin paint * Polyurethane varnish * Enamel paint * Lacquer for wood coating * Non-aqueous solvent-based coatings * Special effect paint (e.g., metallic, pearlescent)
