2916.39.15.00 - Ibuprofen

This HTS category, 2916.39.15.00, specifically classifies Ibuprofen. Ibuprofen is a well-known nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) used for its analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory properties. Its classification under aromatic monocarboxylic acids reflects its chemical structure, which features a benzene ring attached to a propionic acid moiety.

This specific entry for Ibuprofen is a distinct item within the broader "Other" subheading of aromatic monocarboxylic acids. While sibling categories at this level may cover other aromatic acids, their anhydrides, halides, peroxides, or peroxyacids, such as benzoic anhydride, tert-butyl peroxybenzoate, or cinnamic acid, this code is singularly dedicated to the widely used pharmaceutical compound Ibuprofen. The specificity ensures accurate tariff application for this particular chemical.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the focus remains on clearly identifying Ibuprofen and its established classification. This ensures that importers and exporters correctly assign this compound, distinguishing it from other chemically similar but functionally different aromatic carboxylic acid derivatives.
