The US schedule enumerates Reactive Black 1 and specific blend compositions — including a mixture of 71% Reactive Yellow 85 and 29% Reactive Orange 13 — at the 10-digit level, with a NESOI residual at 3204165000.

Certain commercially significant blends — such as the 71%/29% Reactive Yellow 85/Reactive Orange 13 mixture — were enumerated at the 10-digit level because they were subject to antidumping proceedings or other trade-remedy actions that required precise product scope. Importers of blended reactive dye products should verify whether their exact composition matches a named line or falls under the NESOI residual.
Generally, the Colour Index designation and chemical identity govern classification within 320416 regardless of physical form. However, if a liquid product contains significant diluents or auxiliaries that make it a preparation rather than a pure dye, the applicable 10-digit line may differ. A certificate of analysis showing active dye content is advisable to support the classification.
