HS 32089099 — Based on chemically modified natural polymers — sits in Chapter 32 (Tanning or dyeing extracts; pigments, paints, and varnishes). Dyes, paints, inks, putties, and tanning substances. EU importers pay MFN duty plus import VAT at the border; origin-specific trade remedies (anti-dumping, countervailing, safeguards, US Section 301) can stack on top when applicable. Classification disputes are decided by the Section VI — Products of the chemical or allied industries legal notes shown below — these are legally binding interpretation rules, not advisory text. The duty table renders live rates from authoritative tariff sources (EU TARIC, HMRC XI, USITC HTS); cross-country rows compare treatment under five tariff schedules.

(B) Subject to paragraph (A) above, goods answering to a description in heading [2843](/headings/2843), [2846](/headings/2846) or [2852](/headings/2852) are to be classified in those headings and in no other heading of this section. 2. Subject to Note 1 above, goods classifiable in heading [3004](/headings/3004), [3005](/headings/3005), [3006](/headings/3006), [3212](/headings/3212), [3303](/headings/3303), [3304](/headings/3304), [3305](/headings/3305), [3306](/headings/3306), [3307](/headings/3307), [3506](/headings/3506), [3707](/headings/3707) or [3808](/headings/3808) by reason of being put up in measured doses or for retail sale are to be classified in those headings and in no other heading of the nomenclature. 3. Goods put up in sets consisting of two or more separate constituents, some or all of which fall in this section and are intended to be mixed together to obtain a product of Section VI or VII, are to be classified in the heading appropriate to that product, provided that the constituents are: a. having regard to the manner in which they are put up, clearly identifiable as being intended to be used together without first being repacked; b. presented together; and c. identifiable, whether by their nature or by the relative proportions in which they are present, as being complementary one to another. 4. Where a product answers to a description in one or more of the headings in Section VI by virtue of being described by name or function and also to heading [3827](/headings/3827), then it is classifiable in a heading that references the product by name or function and not under heading [3827](/headings/3827).
