Analysis
Heading 3204 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers synthetic organic coloring matter, whether or not chemically defined; preparations as specified in note 3 to this chapter based on synthetic organic coloring matter; synthetic organic products of a kind used as…. It divides into 11 six-digit subheadings and 52 eight-digit tariff lines, with 89 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
The spread of 6.5 percentage points between the cheapest and dearest lines makes misclassification expensive here. The highest rate, 6.5%, applies to 3204.11.10 (disperse blue 19, 26, 26:1, 35, 55, 56, 58, 72…) and 3204.11.15 (disperse dyes and preparations based thereon…).
9 of its 52 lines with a percentage rate are duty-free at the general rate (17%) and 43 are dutiable, from duty-free up to 6.5%. The median line pays 6.5%.
Its median rate of 6.5% sits at the 77th percentile of the headings in chapter 32.
The largest subheadings are 3204.12 (acid dyes, whether or not premetallized, and…, 7 lines), 3204.15 (vat dyes (including those usable in that state as…, 7 lines), 3204.19 (other, including mixtures of coloring matter of…, 7 lines) and 3204.13 (basic dyes and preparations based thereon, 6 lines).
