HS-6 · Subheading
293719
Polypeptide hormones, protein hormones and glycoprotein hormones, their derivatives and structural analogues; other than somatotropin, (its derivatives and structural anaologues) and insulin and its salts
Heading 2937 — Hormones, prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes, natural or reproduced by synthesis; derivatives and structural analogues thereof, including chain modified polypeptides, used primarily as hormones.
Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 293719 when importing or exporting polypeptide hormones and their derivatives, excluding somatotropin and insulin. For instance, a shipment of luteinizing hormone (LH) for use in fertility treatments falls under this code.
This code specifically covers polypeptide and protein hormones, including their structural analogues. Unlike HS-6 293720, which includes somatotropin and insulin, HS-6 293719 focuses on other hormones such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and their derivatives.
When classifying products, consider whether they are natural hormones or synthetic derivatives. For example, a synthetic version of a glycoprotein hormone intended for medical use would be classified here, while insulin, which has its own classification, would not.
If you're unsure about a specific product, check if it falls under the definitions provided in the customs rulings or consult with a customs broker for clarity on classification.
