Hydrocodone Bitartrate from Mexico
Hydrocodone bitartrate is the bitartrate salt of hydrocodone, a semi-synthetic opioid used as an antitussive and analgesic. It is classifiable under this tariff item because hydrocodone (INN) is explicitly listed, and Chapter 29 Note 5(C)(1) directs salts of organic bases to the parent compound's heading.
