  "summary": "HS code 3203.00 covers colouring matter of vegetable or animal origin (including dyeing extracts but excluding animal black), whether or not chemically defined; preparations as specified in Note 3 to this Chapter based on colouring matter of vegetable or animal origin. It sits in heading 32.03 (colouring matter of vegetable or animal origin (including dyeing extracts but excluding animal black), whether or not chemically defined; preparations as specified in Note 3 to this Chapter based on colouring matter of vegetable or animal origin) in chapter 32 (tanning or dyeing extracts; tannins and their derivatives; dyes, pigments and other colouring matter; paints and varnishes; putty and other mastics; inks). It is the only subheading of heading 32.03, so every good of the heading is classified here. National tariff lines under 3203.00 are live on border.bot for the United States (3 lines, also used by 1 other country).",
