HS-6 · Subheading
320619
Colouring matter; pigments and preparations based on titanium dioxide, containing less than 80% by weight of titanium dioxide calculated on the dry weight
Heading 3206 — Colouring matter and preparations thereof n.e.c. in heading no. 3203, 3204, 3205; inorganic products, kind used as luminophores whether or not chemically defined
Chapter 32: Tanning or dyeing extracts
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 320619 when importing or exporting pigments based on titanium dioxide that contain less than 80% titanium dioxide by weight. For example, a shipment of white pigment powder used in paints may fall under this classification.
This code specifically targets preparations that are primarily based on titanium dioxide but do not meet the threshold of 80% titanium dioxide content. In contrast, HS-6 320618 covers similar pigments but with a higher titanium dioxide concentration.
Understanding the distinction between HS-6 320619 and its neighboring codes is crucial. While 320619 includes lower titanium dioxide content, HS-6 320620 pertains to organic pigments, which are chemically different and used in various applications.
When dealing with pigments for coatings, plastics, or inks, ensure you assess the titanium dioxide content accurately to classify your product correctly. Misclassification can lead to delays and compliance issues.
