Classification of organic dye blend under HS 3204.19
Organic dye blends are classified under HS code 320419. This code is part of the heading for synthetic organic coloring matter and preparations based on synthetic organic coloring matter. Specifically, 320419 is a residual category that includes mixtures of coloring matter of two or more of the subheadings 3204.11 to 3204.19. The classification is based on the chemical nature of the product (synthetic organic) and its form as a mixture or blend. These products are used extensively in the textile, paper, and leather industries to achieve specific shades that single-component dyes cannot provide.

Codes often confused with 3204.19
Common mistake. Organic dye blends are often confused with HS code 3203, which is reserved for coloring matter of vegetable or animal origin. Since 320419 is for synthetic dyes, the origin of the chemical structure is the deciding factor. Another common misclassification is HS code 3206, which covers other coloring matter and inorganic pigments. If the blend contains inorganic pigments like titanium dioxide as the primary colorant, it cannot stay in 3204. Finally, if the dye is packaged for retail sale (e.g., small packets for home use), it must be classified under HS code 321290.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
