Hydromorphone Hydrochloride from Mexico
Hydromorphone hydrochloride is the hydrochloride salt of hydromorphone, a potent semi-synthetic opioid analgesic derived from morphine. It falls under this tariff item because hydromorphone (INN) is explicitly named, and Chapter 29 Note 5(C)(1) classifies salts of organic bases with the parent compound.
