This is the catch-all under 3215 90: it covers what the sibling codes below do not.
Within the parent group of ink, concentrated or solid, excluding printing inks, this is the specifically named part covering the stated cartridges and solid ink that are not named by the sibling category for other ink, ink-like goods and similar products.
Compare the sibling codes at this level before you settle on this one.
