Cathine Sulfate
Cathine sulfate is a pharmaceutically pure salt form of cathine (norpseudoephedrine), an ephedra-derived sympathomimetic alkaloid used in drug synthesis. Classified under HTS 2939.43.00.00 as it qualifies as a cathine salt per chapter notes for separate chemically defined organic compounds. Supplied as white crystalline powder for lab or manufacturing use.

Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the base alkaloid ephedrine rather than cathine is the active component
Ephedrine and its salts have a specific subheading earlier in numerical order within the same alkaloid group.
If supplied as a chemical mixture or preparation exceeding 0.3% alkaloid content
Mixtures of organic chemicals not fitting pure compound definitions move to Chapter 38 prepared chemical headings.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit FDA Drug Master File references and ensure batch testing certificates confirm salt identity via HPLC
• Declare exact CAS number (specific to cathine sulfate) on commercial invoice to prevent reclassification
• Avoid bulk packaging over 25kg without stabilizers, as chapter notes limit additions to those for safety/transport
