Subheadings
Products classified under Tariff item 2936.26.00
Adenosylcobalamin (Cobamamide)
Adenosylcobalamin, also known as cobamamide, is the mitochondrial coenzyme form of Vitamin B12 supplied as a pure powder for supplement manufacturing. It is a derivative of Vitamin B12 with full vitamin activity, falling squarely under tariff item 2936.26.00.
Cyanocobalamin 1% Feed Grade Premix
Cyanocobalamin premix standardized to 1% B12 activity on a maltodextrin carrier for animal nutrition, where B12 remains the principal active ingredient. The diluent does not render the product particularly suitable for a specific use, so it remains classifiable as a Vitamin B12 derivative.
Cyanocobalamin Succinate Complex
Cyanocobalamin complexed with succinic acid for enhanced stability in liquid formulations, retaining full B12 vitamin activity. The succinate acts as a stabilizer, which is permitted under Chapter Note 1(f) without affecting classification.
Cyanocobalamin USP Powder
Pharmaceutical-grade cyanocobalamin powder meeting USP standards, a synthetic form of Vitamin B12 used primarily as a vitamin supplement. It is a separate chemically defined organic compound with direct B12 activity, classifiable under tariff item 2936.26.00.
Fermentation-Derived Cobamamide
Biosynthetic adenosylcobalamin (cobamamide) produced via microbial fermentation, identical to natural Vitamin B12 coenzyme. Tariff item 2936.26.00 covers both synthetic and natural-reproduced B12 compounds with vitamin activity.
Hydroxocobalamin Acetate
Hydroxocobalamin acetate, a Vitamin B12 derivative used in cyanide poisoning antidotes and B12 deficiency treatments, supplied as sterile powder. It is a derivative of Vitamin B12 with full vitamin activity, classifiable under tariff item 2936.26.00.
Mecobalamin Crystals
Mecobalamin (methylcobalamin), a coenzyme form of Vitamin B12 with full B12 activity, supplied as pure crystals for pharmaceutical use. It is a derivative of Vitamin B12, falling under tariff item 2936.26.00.
Methylcobalamin Sodium Salt
Methylcobalamin sodium salt, a water-soluble Vitamin B12 coenzyme derivative for oral and sublingual supplements. As an inorganic salt of an organic compound, it is classified with the organic compound per Chapter Note 5(C)(1), retaining vitamin activity.
Vitamin B12 0.1% Mannitol Adsorbate
Cyanocobalamin adsorbed onto mannitol at 0.1% concentration for improved handling in tablet compression, maintaining B12 as the principal active. The mannitol acts as a transport excipient, permitted under Chapter Note 1(e) without changing classification.
Vitamin B12 Reference Standard
Certified cyanocobalamin reference standard with assigned potency for analytical laboratories and pharmacopeia testing. It is a pure B12 compound used primarily as a vitamin calibration material, classifiable under tariff item 2936.26.00.
