Last updated: April 2026 dataDirect dyes are anionic colorants applied to cellulosic substrates — primarily cotton and viscose — without a mordant, making them a cost-efficient choice for large-volume textile dyeing operations. The US schedule enumerates specific Colour Index numbers such as Direct Black 62, Direct Black 51, and Direct Blue 86 across dedicated 10-digit lines, with a separate line (3204143000) for products described in Additional U.S. Note 3 to Section VI and a NESOI residual (3204145000). Mexico and India lead US import supply under this heading, with Japan and Germany also significant sources.

Importers should check for any active antidumping or countervailing duty orders covering synthetic organic dyes from specific origins, as such orders can apply to named Colour Index products within this heading. CBP's ADD/CVD portal and the Federal Register are the authoritative sources for current order scope and applicable rates.
A preparation typically contains the dye combined with standardizing agents, dispersants, or other auxiliaries that adjust strength or application properties. CBP looks at whether the non-dye components are present in commercially significant quantities; if so, the product is classified as a preparation rather than the pure dye, which may fall under a different 10-digit line within 320414.
