2922.41.00.10 - Meeting requirements of Food Chemical Codex, Codex Alimentarius or United States Pharmacopeia

This HTS category encompasses lysine and its derivatives, specifically its esters and salts. Lysine is an essential amino acid vital for protein synthesis and is widely used in various industries, including food and pharmaceuticals. This classification applies to forms of lysine that are recognized and meet the stringent purity and quality standards set forth by organizations such as the Food Chemical Codex (FCC), Codex Alimentarius, or the United States Pharmacopeia (USP). These standards ensure that the lysine is suitable for human consumption, medicinal use, or other applications where purity is paramount.

This specific classification distinguishes itself from its sibling category, 2922.41.00.90, by its explicit requirement to meet the aforementioned food and pharmaceutical grade standards. While the sibling category covers other forms or grades of lysine and its derivatives, this node is reserved for those that have undergone rigorous testing and certification to comply with specific international and national quality benchmarks. This ensures the suitability and safety of the substance for its intended applications.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories. The classification concludes with the specific requirement of meeting the stated quality and purity standards. Therefore, any product falling under this HTS code must be lysine, its esters, or salts, and demonstrably adhere to the specifications of the Food Chemical Codex, Codex Alimentarius, or the United States Pharmacopeia.
