What this chapter covers

This chapter covers tanning and dyeing extracts, tannins and their derivatives, dyes, pigments and other colouring matter, prepared paints and varnishes, putty and other mastics, and inks. As a rule separate chemically defined elements and compounds fall outside the chapter, but the notes carve out exceptions that stay here — the goods of headings 32.03 and 32.04, inorganic products used as luminophores, the glass forms of heading 32.07 and colouring matter put up for retail sale in heading 32.12. Preparations based on colouring matter belong to headings 32.03 to 32.06; pigments in liquid or paste form dispersed in a non-aqueous medium for making paints (32.12) and the other preparations of headings 32.07, 32.08, 32.09, 32.10, 32.12, 32.13 and 32.15 are classified in their own headings instead.

Tanning extracts of vegetable origin, tannins and their salts, ethers and esters (32.01)
Synthetic organic and inorganic tanning substances, tanning preparations and enzymatic pre-tanning preparations (32.02)
Synthetic organic colouring matter, fluorescent brightening agents and synthetic products used as luminophores (32.04)

Import duty rates across this chapter

The range is always computed WITHIN a single column: showing the EU column and the all-other-countries column as one range would misstate the duty. The binding rate depends on the twelve-digit code and the country of origin.
