Harmonized System Code Classification

The first two digits of the HS code "32" represent dyes, pigments, other colorants, paints, varnishes, coatings, and artistic and sculptural products.

Specifically, this classification includes the following main contents:

• Dyes, pigments, and other colorants: These include various coloring substances used for textiles, leather, paper, plastics, and other materials.
• Paints, varnishes, and coatings: These are liquid mixtures used for protecting or decorating surfaces.
• Artistic and sculptural products: This includes paintings, sculptures, carvings, and other artworks, as well as related materials and tools.

Therefore, if a product is primarily used for coloring, protecting, or decorating surfaces, or is an artistic item, it is likely to be classified under the HS code "32".

To make a more accurate determination, it is necessary to further understand the specific composition, use, and characteristics of the product.
