2941.10.20.00 - Penicillin G salts

This category specifically encompasses salts of Penicillin G. Penicillin G is a well-known antibiotic belonging to the beta-lactam class, primarily used for treating bacterial infections. The classification covers various salt forms of Penicillin G, such as sodium penicillin G or potassium penicillin G, which are often formulated for therapeutic administration. The salts are distinguished from the free acid form of Penicillin G by their ionic nature, typically making them more water-soluble and stable for pharmaceutical applications.

It is important to differentiate this category from its sibling, 2941.10.10.00, which covers Ampicillin and its salts. While both are penicillins and antibiotics, Ampicillin has a distinct chemical structure derived from Penicillin G but with an added amino group, leading to a broader spectrum of activity. This HTS code is for Penicillin G specifically and excludes other penicillin derivatives.

As a leaf node, there are no further subcategories under Penicillin G salts. Therefore, classification within this code relies on accurately identifying the product as a salt form of Penicillin G. This typically involves consulting chemical analysis, product documentation, or certificates of analysis to confirm the chemical identity and salt form.
