Alternative Classifications

This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.

2937.29Higher: 10% vs Free

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.

3003.20.00.00Same rate: Free

If as sterile injectable suspension

Medicinal formulations containing antibiotics or hormones in measured doses move to Chapter 30 finished products.

2904.20.20.00Higher: 35% vs Free

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
