Overview
This category, HTS Code 2937.29.90.95, encompasses a broad range of steroidal hormones, their derivatives, and structural analogues that are not specifically enumerated under preceding subheadings. This classification serves as a residual category for compounds that exhibit hormonal activity but do not fit into more specific groupings like the salts and esters of hydrocortisone, prednisone, or prednisolone, nor are they primarily categorized as anabolic agents or androgens. The defining characteristic for inclusion here is the steroidal structure coupled with primary use as a hormone, whether naturally occurring or synthesized.
The distinction from sibling categories is crucial for accurate classification. For instance, while this subheading covers general "other" steroidal hormones, sibling categories like 2937.29.90.20, 2937.29.90.30, and 2937.29.90.40 are specifically designated for the salts and esters of particular corticosteroids like hydrocortisone, prednisone, and prednisolone, respectively. Similarly, 2937.29.90.50 isolates anabolic agents and androgens, which, despite often having steroidal structures, are classified separately due to their distinct physiological effects and primary applications, such as muscle growth promotion.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Therefore, classification within 2937.29.90.95 relies on a process of elimination, ensuring that a product's properties and intended use align with the broad definition of steroidal hormones, derivatives, or analogues while excluding it from all more specific, preceding classifications within the 2937.29.90 range. Examples of products that might fall here could include less common synthetic steroidal hormone analogs used for specific therapeutic purposes not covered by more granular descriptions.
