Heading 2941 — Antibiotics
Chapter 29: Organic chemicals
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 294150 when importing or exporting erythromycin and its derivatives, including their salts. For example, if you're shipping erythromycin tablets for pharmaceutical use, this code is applicable.
This code specifically covers antibiotics like erythromycin, which are used to treat bacterial infections. It's important to distinguish this from other antibiotics under the same heading, such as penicillin derivatives, which fall under a different HS-6 code.
When classifying erythromycin, consider the form of the product. For instance, erythromycin in powder form for manufacturing is also classified under this code, while liquid formulations may have different classifications.
Ensure you verify the specific derivative or salt form of erythromycin you are dealing with, as this can affect the classification. For example, erythromycin estolate and erythromycin stearate are both included under this HS-6.
