Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 293624 when importing or exporting D- or DL-pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) and its unmixed derivatives. For instance, a shipment of pure vitamin B5 powder intended for dietary supplements would fall under this code.
This code specifically applies to unmixed forms of D- or DL-pantothenic acid, distinguishing it from related codes that cover mixed vitamin products or those containing additional substances. For example, HS-6 293625 includes mixtures of vitamin B5 with other vitamins.
D- or DL-pantothenic acid is essential for various metabolic functions, and its derivatives are often used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and food fortification. If you are dealing with a product like a vitamin B5 serum for skin care, this HS-6 code is appropriate.
When classifying your product, ensure it is solely composed of D- or DL-pantothenic acid without any other vitamins or additives. If your product contains additional ingredients, you may need to consider a different HS code.
