Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If classified as corticosteroid of cortisol rather than prednisone-specific
Corticosteroids and derivatives of cortisol have earlier specific heading taking precedence over 'other' steroids
If imported as a chemical mixture or preparation not purely the isolated ester
Mixtures of organic chemicals not fitting Chapter 29 hormone definitions go to Chapter 38 prepared binders or mixtures
If for immunotherapeutic use in finished form
If positioned as antisera or blood fractions rather than pure hormone, it shifts to Chapter 30 immunological products

Import Tips & Compliance
• Obtain FDA import alert clearance for steroid APIs; provide certificate of analysis showing purity >99%
• Avoid misdeclaration as 'prednisolone base' which changes classification
• Comply with DEA scheduling if applicable for bulk quantities
