About dyes; n.e.c., including mixtures of colouring matter of two or more of those from item no. 3204.11 to 3204.19
HS code 320419 covers a diverse range of synthetic dyes and coloring agents that are not classified elsewhere. These dyes play a crucial role in various industries, including textiles, plastics, cosmetics, and printing. As an essential component in the production of vibrant and long-lasting colors, the dyes under this code contribute significantly to the global economy and the everyday products we use.
Production process
The production of dyes under HS code 320419 typically involves complex chemical synthesis processes. Manufacturers often start with basic organic compounds, such as benzene or toluene, and then apply a series of reactions to create the desired dye molecules. This may include steps like nitration, sulfonation, or the introduction of specific functional groups. The final products are then purified and standardized to meet the required quality and performance specifications.
Production inputs
The main inputs for the production of dyes under HS code 320419 include a variety of organic chemicals, such as 2707 Oils and other products of the distillation of high temperature coal tar; similar products in which the aromatic constituents predominate by weight compared to the non-aromatic constituents, 2901 Acyclic hydrocarbons, and 2902 Cyclic hydrocarbons. Specialized equipment, such as chemical reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, research and development, and strict quality control measures to ensure the production of high-quality dyes.
Production outputs
The dyes produced under HS code 320419 are used in a wide range of applications, including the coloration of 5205 Cotton yarn, containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, not put up for retail sale, 5407 Woven fabrics of synthetic filament yarn, including woven fabrics obtained from materials of heading 54.04, and 3204 Synthetic organic colouring matter, whether or not chemically defined; preparations based on synthetic organic colouring matter as specified in Note 3 to this Chapter; synthetic organic products of a kind used as fluorescent brightening agents or as luminophores, whether or not chemically defined.
