Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If other halogenated steroidal hormones not adrenal cortical derivatives
Heading 2937.22 specifically for adrenal cortical types; other steroid hormones classified later in 2937.29 per numerical order rule.
If as sterile injectable suspension
Medicinal formulations containing antibiotics or hormones in measured doses move to Chapter 30 finished products.
If classified by primary alcohol function rather than hormonal use
Material composition emphasis over end hormonal use could shift to earlier oxygen-function hydrocarbon heading.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit Type II DMF with polymorphic form specifications (Form I vs II) as stability affects classification confirmation
• Declare exact water content (<0.5%) to distinguish from hydrated forms potentially classified differently
