Overview
This HTS classification, 2939.11.00.00, specifically enumerates and covers **concentrates of poppy straw** and a defined list of **opium alkaloids and their derivatives**. This includes, but is not limited to, buprenorphine, codeine, dihydrocodeine, ethylmorphine, etorphine, heroin, hydrocodone, hydromorphone, morphine, nicomorphine, oxycodone, oxymorphone, pholcodine, thebacon, and thebaine. The classification also encompasses the salts of these specified alkaloids.
This category is distinguished from its sibling, 2939.19, which is designated for "Other" opium alkaloids and their derivatives. Therefore, the key differentiating factor lies in the explicit listing of specific alkaloids and their derivatives within 2939.11.00.00, rather than a broader, residual classification.
As this node is a leaf node, it has no subcategories. The classification is highly specific and detailed, leaving no further subdivisions within this particular HTS code. Classification under 2939.11.00.00 hinges on the precise identification of the imported goods as either poppy straw concentrate or one of the enumerated opium alkaloids or their salts.
