Overview
This HTS classification, 2936.25.00.00, specifically covers Vitamin B6, which encompasses pyridoxine, pyridoxal, pyridoxamine, and their related compounds that exhibit Vitamin B6 activity. Derivatives of Vitamin B6 that are primarily used for their vitamin properties also fall under this heading. The classification is concerned with the chemical substances themselves, whether in a pure form or as part of a mixture where they retain their identity as Vitamin B6 or its derivatives.
Within the broader category of provitamins, vitamins, and their derivatives, this heading is distinguished from its siblings by the specific vitamin it addresses. For instance, it is separate from 2936.21.00.00 (Vitamins A and their derivatives), 2936.22.00.00 (Vitamin B1 and its derivatives), and 2936.26.00.00 (Vitamin B12 and its derivatives), each of which classifies distinct chemical compounds with different biological functions. The defining characteristic for classification here is the chemical structure and biological activity specific to Vitamin B6.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level is definitive for Vitamin B6 and its direct derivatives. Practical classification will rely on identifying the chemical identity of the substance through certificates of analysis, chemical nomenclature, or scientific literature to confirm its designation as Vitamin B6 or a direct derivative thereof used for its vitamin properties.
