Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 320730 when importing or exporting liquid lustres and similar preparations used in ceramic enamelling or glass applications. For instance, a shipment of liquid lustre intended for decorative glassware would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers preparations that impart a glossy finish to ceramics and glass. It differs from HS-6 320740, which pertains to other types of pigments and opacifiers that do not have the same lustrous properties.
Liquid lustres often come in containers such as bottles or drums and are used to enhance the visual appeal of finished products. They may contain metallic compounds or organic solvents that create a shimmering effect when applied.
When classifying products, consider whether they are designed for use in ceramics or glass. Products that do not serve this specific purpose may be classified under different HS codes within the same heading.
