3003.60.00.00 - Other, containing antimalarial active principles described in subheading note 2 to this chapter

This HTS category, 3003.60.00.00, encompasses medicaments, not intended for retail sale, that contain active principles specifically designated as antimalarial. These products are mixed for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes but are not pre-packaged in measured doses for direct consumer use. The critical defining characteristic for classification within this subheading is the presence of antimalarial active principles that meet the criteria outlined in subheading note 2 to Chapter 30.

Distinguishing this category from its siblings, 3003.60.00.00 specifically targets antimalarial agents. It is separate from 3003.10.00.00 (penicillins or derivatives), 3003.20.00.00 (other antibiotics), and the unnumbered categories for hormones, alkaloids, and other unclassified medicaments under 3003. The focus here is solely on the antimalarial function of the active principles, irrespective of whether other common antibiotic or hormonal components are also present in the mixture.

As 3003.60.00.00 is a leaf node within the HTS, it does not have further subcategories. Classification at this level is determined by the identification of antimalarial active principles that conform to the specific note referenced. Examples of products that might fall here include bulk preparations of combinations of artemisinin derivatives or other recognized antimalarial compounds, which are intended for further processing or repackaging into finished pharmaceutical products.
