Chapter 30: Pharmaceutical products

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 300693 when importing or exporting clinical trial kits that include placebos and are packaged in measured doses. For example, a shipment containing 500 placebo tablets for a clinical trial should be classified under this code.

This HS-6 line specifically covers pharmaceutical goods designed for clinical trials, particularly those that are blinded or double-blinded. Unlike HS-6 300694, which pertains to unmeasured doses, this code emphasizes the importance of precise dosage in trial settings.

When considering HS-6 300693, it’s essential to ensure that the products are intended for recognized clinical trials. This distinguishes them from general pharmaceutical products that might not meet the same regulatory standards.

If you are dealing with clinical trial kits that include both active ingredients and placebos, you might need to classify those components separately, possibly under HS-6 300690 for other pharmaceutical goods.
