Last updated: April 2026 dataDisperse dyes are water-insoluble synthetic colorants designed primarily for dyeing polyester, acetate, and other hydrophobic synthetic fibers, making them essential inputs for the global textile and apparel supply chain. The US schedule for heading 320411 includes several named compounds — Disperse Blue 19, Disperse Blue 30, and specific azo dyes — alongside a general NESOI line (3204115000), reflecting the granular tariff treatment applied to individual dye molecules. Japan leads US imports under this heading, with India and China also significant sources; imports from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs, a cost factor that has shifted some sourcing toward Japan, Mexico, and India.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Disperse dyes originating from China are subject to Section 301 tariffs, which adds a meaningful cost premium on Chinese-origin product. This has incentivized buyers to diversify toward Japan, India, and Mexico. However, origin determination can be complex when dye intermediates are manufactured in one country and formulated in another — importers must ensure that country-of-origin declarations reflect the location of substantial transformation.
Correct 10-digit classification requires identifying the dye's Color Index (CI) name or number, its CAS registry number, and its chemical structure. Several named lines within heading 3204.11 are defined by specific CI designations (e.g., Disperse Blue 19, Disperse Blue 30) or by Additional U.S. Note 3 to Section VI. Importers should obtain a certificate of analysis and the manufacturer's technical data sheet to support the specific line claimed.
