3003.49.00.00 - Other

This classification, HTS Code 3003.49.00.00, encompasses medicaments that contain alkaloids or their derivatives, which have been mixed for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes. These goods are not presented in measured doses or in retail packaging. Crucially, this category serves as a residual classification for alkaloid-containing medicaments that do not fall under more specific subheadings within the broader category of medicaments containing alkaloids or their derivatives.

To understand its distinctiveness, it is important to differentiate this code from its sibling categories. HTS 3003.41.00.00 specifically covers medicaments containing ephedrine or its salts. Similarly, HTS 3003.42.00.00 is designated for those containing pseudoephedrine (INN) or its salts, and HTS 3003.43.00.00 applies to medicaments containing norephedrine or its salts. Therefore, HTS 3003.49.00.00 is applicable only when the medicament contains alkaloids or derivatives thereof that are *not* ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or norephedrine, or their respective salts.

As this HTS code is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories branching from it. Classification under this heading relies on the absence of the specific alkaloids listed in the preceding sibling categories, while still confirming the presence of other alkaloids or their derivatives within the mixed medicament intended for therapeutic or prophylactic use and not put up for retail sale in measured doses.
