Heading 2941 — Antibiotics
Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 294130 when importing or exporting tetracyclines and their derivatives, such as oxytetracycline. These antibiotics are often used in both human and veterinary medicine.
This code specifically covers tetracyclines, distinguishing them from other antibiotics classified under HS-6 294120, which includes penicillins. If your product is a derivative of tetracycline, such as doxycycline, this is the correct classification.
Tetracyclines are typically found in bulk powder form or as finished pharmaceutical products. Ensure that your packaging clearly indicates the specific derivative to avoid misclassification.
When dealing with tetracyclines, consider their end-use. For example, if you are exporting oxytetracycline for animal feed, you should verify if any additional regulations apply.
