Overview
This HTS category, 2922.44.00.00, specifically covers Tilidine (International Nonproprietary Name) and its various salts. Tilidine is an opioid analgesic with both central and peripheral analgesic effects. Its classification is within the broader group of oxygen-function amino-compounds, focusing on amino-acids and their derivatives.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. Unlike Lysine (2922.41.00), Glutamic acid (2922.42), and Anthranilic acid (2922.43), which are naturally occurring or widely used amino acids, Tilidine is a synthetic pharmaceutical compound primarily recognized for its pain-relieving properties. The "Other" category (2922.49) serves as a catch-all for any other amino-acid derivatives that do not fit into the more specific subheadings listed.
As a leaf node, 2922.44.00.00 has no further subcategories. Therefore, the classification hinges on the definitive identification of the substance as Tilidine or one of its salts. This includes various pharmaceutical formulations where Tilidine is the active pharmaceutical ingredient, provided it is classified as a chemical compound rather than a finished medicinal product (which would fall under Chapter 30). Classification relies on the chemical identity of the substance.
