Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If immunological products containing the salt
Chapter 29 excludes immunological products of heading 3002, so vaccine-adjuvant combinations shift there.
If sugar esters or salts of penicillins
Penicillin derivatives modified with sugar moieties fall under heading 2940 for sugar ethers/acetals/esters.
If cyclic ethers derived from penicillin structure
Degraded or structurally modified penicillins without intact penicillanic acid may classify as heterocyclic compounds in 2933.

Import Tips & Compliance
• Submit Type II DMF to FDA; ensure microbial limits testing in CoA
• Use insulated packaging to prevent degradation above 25°C
