Alternative Classifications

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

2918.19.90.00Higher: 29% vs Free

If emphasizing carboxylic acid ester function over hormonal identity

Incomplete esters of carboxylic acids may classify under oxygen-function acids if not predominantly hormonal

3004.20.00Same rate: Free

If in sterile dosage forms like lyophilized powders for injection

Finished pharmaceutical products containing hormones shift to specific Chapter 30 medicinal categories

2937.90Higher: 10% vs Free

If for non-prednisone steroidal hormone salts like those of progesterone

Different steroid families have separate residual provisions later in the heading structure
