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.
