Fentanyl Citrate
Fentanyl citrate is the citrate salt form of fentanyl, a synthetic opioid analgesic chemically classified as a 4-anilino-N-phenethylpiperidine derivative with a piperidine nitrogen hetero-atom. It falls under HTS 2933.34.00.00 as one of the other fentanyls and their derivatives containing an unfused pyridine ring structure in its heterocyclic framework. This pure chemical compound is used in pharmaceutical manufacturing for pain management applications.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified as other pyridine compounds without specific fentanyl structure
Products with pyridine rings but lacking the exact 4-anilino-N-phenethylpiperidine fentanyl backbone fall under the broader other pyridine category later in numerical order.
If imported as finished dosage forms like injections or patches
When put up in measured doses or packings for retail therapeutic use, it shifts from bulk chemical to medicaments of Chapter 30.
