Chapter 30: Pharmaceutical products
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 300510 when importing or exporting adhesive dressings and bandages that are impregnated with pharmaceutical substances. For instance, a shipment of adhesive bandages for wound care that are packaged for retail sale falls under this code.
This code specifically covers dressings and adhesive products intended for medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary use. It contrasts with HS-6 300520, which includes similar products but without the pharmaceutical impregnation.
When classifying products, ensure they are packed for retail sale and have an adhesive layer. Items like sterile adhesive bandages or gauze pads with antibiotic properties fit this HS-6 line.
If your product is a simple gauze or bandage without any pharmaceutical coating, you would look at HS-6 300590 instead, which encompasses non-impregnated items.
