Alternative Classifications

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

3003.39Higher: 10% vs Free

If imported as medicaments in measured doses

Bulk hormones become Chapter 30 products when formulated into dosage forms like capsules.

2922.19Higher: 16.5% vs Free

If emphasizing amino acid functional group over hormonal use

Chapter 29 prioritizes latest numerical heading, but non-hormonal amino acids go to 2922.

Import Tips & Compliance

Include pharmacopeia compliance certificates (USP/EP) to confirm identity as a pure hormone derivative

Avoid anti-dusting agents that could render it suitable for specific non-general use per Chapter 29 note (g)

Declare exact purity levels to prevent reclassification as mixtures outside Chapter 29 scope
