Chapter 30: Pharmaceutical products
Plain-language overview
Use HS-4 3001 when importing glands and other organs, such as dried animal pancreas or liver extracts, intended for organo-therapeutic applications. This classification also includes heparin and its salts, which are crucial for anticoagulant therapies.
When deciding between HS-6 300120 and HS-6 300190, consider the specific product. If you are importing dried extracts from glands or their secretions, use 300120. However, if your shipment includes heparin or other substances prepared for therapeutic uses that don't fit neatly into the first line, go with 300190.
It's important to note that HS-6 300190 covers a broader range of substances, including those not specifically classified elsewhere in this heading. If your product is a human or animal substance used therapeutically but doesn't fall under gland extracts, this is the appropriate subheading.
