Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If not specifically a salt or ester of prednisone but another hormonal derivative
Other steroidal hormone derivatives fall under the residual 'Other' provision in 2937.90, later in numerical order per chapter note
If imported as formulated medicaments in dosage form like tablets or injections
Bulk API salts shift to Chapter 30 when prepared as medicaments for retail sale or therapeutic use
If part of finished dosage forms like sterile injectables for veterinary use
Medicinal preparations containing hormones in measured doses are classified in Chapter 30, not as bulk chemicals
