3001.90.01.90 - Other 🖩

This category, HTS Code 3001.90.01.90, encompasses "Other" organotherapeutic substances and preparations not specifically enumerated under the preceding subheadings of 3001.90. This includes a broad range of materials derived from human or animal sources that are prepared for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, but do not fit into the more defined categories of dried glands, organ extracts, or heparin. The defining characteristic is their intended medical application, requiring specific processing or formulation to achieve this purpose.

Distinguishing this category from its sibling, "Glands and other organs, dried, whether or not powdered," is crucial. While the sibling focuses on the raw, dried state of organs, this "Other" category includes substances that may have undergone further processing, such as purification, extraction, or complex formulation, beyond simple drying and powdering. It also covers therapeutic or prophylactic preparations that are not direct extracts of glands or organs but are derived from other human or animal animal sources and prepared for medicinal purposes.

As this is a terminal node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification within this "Other" heading requires careful consideration of whether the substance is indeed prepared for therapeutic or prophylactic use and is not elsewhere specified in Chapter 30 or other relevant chapters of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule. Examples could include certain allergenic extracts, specialized animal sera not covered elsewhere, or other prepared biological materials intended for medicinal treatment.
