2923.20.20 - Other

This HTS category, 2923.20.20, encompasses "Other" lecithins and other phosphoaminolipids. Following the broader classification of lecithins and other phosphoaminolipids, this specific code serves as a residual category for these compounds that do not meet the more narrowly defined criteria of preceding subheadings. It covers a range of phosphoaminolipids and lecithins that are not specifically designated for pharmaceutical use or certified as organic.

This category is distinct from its sibling, 2923.20.10.00, which is specifically designated for purified egg phospholipids that meet stringent U.S. Food and Drug Administration requirements for intravenous fat emulsions. Therefore, 2923.20.20 covers lecithins and other phosphoaminolipids intended for purposes other than pharmaceutical intravenous applications, and which may not possess the rigorous purity standards or certifications required for medicinal use.

The subcategories under 2923.20.20 further refine the classification based on specific attributes. 2923.20.20.10 addresses "Certified organic lecithins," indicating that these products have undergone certification processes verifying their adherence to organic production standards. The remaining products within this broader "Other" category fall under 2923.20.20.50, which is for any lecithins and other phosphoaminolipids not otherwise specified, including non-organic varieties and those not meeting the specific pharmaceutical grade or organic certifications.
