A set is generally a retail-packaged assortment of two or more colors presented together for sale without repackaging. If individual tubes, pans, or bottles are imported in bulk without retail set packaging, they would typically classify under 3213900000 (colors not in sets) rather than 3213100000.
Yes. Chinese-origin artists' color sets under this heading are subject to Section 301 tariffs.
