Synthetic Oxytocin
Oxytocin is a polypeptide hormone reproduced by synthesis, used primarily for its hormonal effects in inducing labor and controlling bleeding after childbirth. It falls under HTS 2937.19.00.00 as a polypeptide hormone derivative used primarily as a hormone. This classification applies to its pure chemical form for pharmaceutical use.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If imported as finished injectable solution
Medicaments in dosage form, even if containing hormones, are classified in Chapter 30 based on therapeutic use rather than chemical composition.
If not primarily used as a hormone
Other hormones, derivatives, and analogues not specifically polypeptide/protein types fall under the residual 2937.90 provision.
