HS-6 · Subheading
382212
Reagents; diagnostic or laboratory reagents on a backing, prepared diagnostic or laboratory reagents whether or not on a backing, whether or not put up in the form of kits; for zika and other diseases transmitted by mosquitoes of the genus Aedes
Heading 3822 — Reagents; diagnostic or laboratory reagents on a backing, prepared diagnostic or laboratory reagents whether or not on a backing, whether or not put up in the form of kits, other than those of heading 30.06; certified reference materials
Chapter 38: Miscellaneous chemical products
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 382212 when importing or exporting diagnostic reagents specifically prepared for Zika and other diseases spread by Aedes mosquitoes. For example, a shipment of laboratory reagents packaged in kits for testing Zika virus would fall under this code.
This code is distinct from HS-6 382213, which covers similar reagents but is focused on diseases transmitted by other vectors. If your product is aimed at diagnosing diseases like dengue or chikungunya, you may need to consider that code instead.
The 382212 subheading includes reagents that are either on a backing or not, and they can be packaged as kits or individual components. This flexibility is essential for laboratories needing specific testing materials.
When classifying your products, remember that this HS-6 line is specifically tailored for reagents related to Aedes mosquito-transmitted diseases, which may include various testing formats and formulations.
