Overview
This HTS category, 3003.10.00.00, specifically encompasses medicaments containing penicillins or their derivatives with a penicillanic acid structure, or streptomycins or their derivatives. These are generally mixtures of two or more constituents intended for therapeutic or prophylactic use, but notably, they are not presented in measured doses or in forms designed for retail sale. The core defining characteristic here is the presence of these specific antibiotic classes as the active principle.
It is crucial to distinguish this category from its siblings. While 3003.20.00.00 also covers other medicaments containing antibiotics, 3003.10.00.00 is more precise, focusing exclusively on penicillins, their derivatives, and streptomycins. Other sibling categories deal with medicaments containing hormones, alkaloids, or antimalarial active principles, which are distinct chemical classes and therapeutic applications.
As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subdivisions. Therefore, classification under 3003.10.00.00 relies entirely on the presence of penicillins or streptomycins as active ingredients, in a non-retail packaged mixture intended for medical application, and not presented in a form suitable for direct patient administration without further preparation.
