Printing Ink, Other Than Black

Colored printing inks — spanning cyan, magenta, yellow, and specialty chromatic formulations — mirror the black ink schedule's process-based structure, with 10-digit lines for newsprint, flexographic, gravure, letterpress, offset lithographic, and solid-form inks (including 3215191000 for solid colored inks engineered for cartridge-compatible printers). Japan and Israel are the leading US import sources, with Israel's prominence reflecting its specialized role in high-value digital and inkjet ink chemistry. The solid vs. liquid distinction and the press-process classification rules that apply to black inks apply equally here. Importers of UV-curable or electron-beam inks should confirm whether those formulations align with a specific process line or fall under the NESOI provisions.
