Hormones, prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes, natural or reproduced by synthesis; derivatives and structural analogues thereof, including chain modified polypeptides, used primarily as hormones, n.e.c. in heading 2937
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 293790 when importing or exporting hormones, prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes that are not specifically classified elsewhere. For example, a shipment of synthetic hormones used in medical treatments falls under this code.
This code applies to products that are structural analogues or derivatives of hormones, which may include modified polypeptides. In contrast, HS-6 293791 covers specific hormones like insulin, while HS-6 293798 includes other related compounds not classified here.
If you’re dealing with hormones or their derivatives that don’t fit neatly into other categories, HS-6 293790 is likely your best option. This includes various synthetic or natural compounds used in pharmaceuticals.
When classifying products, consider the end-use and the specific chemical structure. For instance, a peptide hormone used in hormone replacement therapy would be classified under this code.
