Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 300390 when importing or exporting medicaments that are mixtures of two or more constituents for therapeutic or prophylactic use, but not in retail packaging. For example, a bulk shipment of a vitamin blend used in a clinical setting would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers medicaments that do not contain antibiotics, hormones, or alkaloids, distinguishing it from HS-6 3002, which includes medicaments containing those substances. If you have a product like a multivitamin solution that doesn’t fit those categories, 300390 is likely the right choice.
When considering similar products, note that HS-6 300391 includes medicaments containing antibiotics, while 300392 covers those with hormones. Make sure to verify the constituents of your product to avoid misclassification.
Medicaments classified under this code are typically used in healthcare settings rather than sold directly to consumers. They may be supplied to hospitals or clinics in bulk, emphasizing their therapeutic or prophylactic applications.
