HS-6 293629: Vitamins; n.e.c. in item no. 2936.2, and their derivatives, unmixed

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 293629 when importing or exporting specific vitamins and their unmixed derivatives not covered elsewhere. For instance, if you're shipping a concentrated vitamin supplement that contains no other additives, this code applies.

This code falls under the broader heading of provitamins and vitamins, which includes both natural and synthetic forms. Unlike HS-6 293628, which covers unmixed vitamins like vitamin C, HS-6 293629 is for vitamins that don’t fit neatly into other specific categories.

The HS-6 293629 line is specifically for vitamins not classified in other item numbers, including derivatives that are unmixed. This could include certain forms of vitamin B or vitamin E that are not blended with other substances.

When classifying your product, consider whether it is a pure vitamin or a derivative. If your product is a vitamin complex that includes multiple vitamins or blends, you may need to look at different codes.
