Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 3211 when importing prepared driers, such as those used in paints or varnishes. For example, if you're shipping a container of prepared driers for industrial coatings, this code applies. Understanding the specifics of this heading can help you ensure compliance and avoid delays.

The only subheading under this heading is 321100, which covers all types of prepared driers. When choosing this code, consider the end-use of the drier.
