Chapter 30: Pharmaceutical products
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 300410 when importing or exporting medicaments that contain penicillins, such as amoxicillin, and are packaged for retail sale. For example, a shipment of amoxicillin capsules in blister packs falls under this code.
This code specifically applies to products that are ready for consumer use and contain penicillins or their derivatives. In contrast, HS-6 300420 covers medicaments with tetracyclines, which are a different class of antibiotics.
When classifying products, ensure they are not classified under headings like 3002, 3005, or 3006, which include other pharmaceutical products not covered by this line. For instance, medicaments that do not contain penicillins would not qualify for this code.
The packaging must be suitable for retail sale, which typically means individual doses are clearly labeled and ready for consumer purchase. This differentiates them from bulk pharmaceutical supplies that might be classified differently.
