Pharmaceutical Cocoa Butter from United States
Pharmaceutical cocoa butter is a highly purified form of cocoa butter used as a base in suppositories and ointments. Despite its pharmaceutical-grade purity, it remains unconverted cocoa fat without any added medicinal substances. As such, it is classified as cocoa butter under this tariff item, and not as a pharmaceutical preparation.
