Last updated: August 2026 dataReactive dyes form covalent bonds with hydroxyl or amino groups in cellulosic and protein fibers, delivering superior wash fastness compared to direct dyes and dominating the global market for cotton apparel dyeing. 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. India is the leading supplier to the US market by a wide margin, a position driven by the scale of Indian reactive dye manufacturing capacity serving global textile supply chains.

27 import shipments a month
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.
