Products classified under HTS 1302.11.00.00
Raw Opium Latex
Raw opium latex is the milky sap extracted directly from the seed pods of Papaver somniferum, containing a mixture of alkaloids such as morphine and codeine. It falls under HTS 1302.11.00.00 as a vegetable sap classified specifically as opium, prior to any refinement or processing into extracts.
Crude Opium Tincture Base
Crude opium tincture base is fresh opium sap intended for immediate dilution into tinctures, imported in bulk for pharmaceutical compounding. HTS 1302.11.00.00 covers this as opium without alcoholic content or medicinal formulation.
Poppy Sap Opium for Extraction
Poppy sap opium for extraction is the air-dried latex from Papaver somniferum capsules, used industrially to isolate alkaloids. It precisely matches HTS 1302.11.00.00 for opium as a vegetable sap.
Pharmaceutical-Grade Opium Sap
Pharmaceutical-grade opium sap is minimally processed latex from opium poppies, standardized for morphine content and used as raw material in drug manufacturing. Classified under HTS 1302.11.00.00 as it qualifies as opium vegetable sap, not yet a finished medicinal product.
Morphine-Rich Opium Gum
Morphine-rich opium gum is the coagulated sap collected from incised poppy capsules, prized for its high morphine alkaloid concentration in natural form. It is imported under HTS 1302.11.00.00 as unrefined opium sap for extraction in alkaloid production.
