3004.10 - Containing penicillins or derivatives thereof, with a penicillanic acid structure, or streptomycins or their derivatives:

This HTS category, 3004.10, specifically addresses medicaments that contain penicillins or their derivatives, provided they are structured with a penicillanic acid core. It also encompasses medicaments containing streptomycins or their derivatives. These are pharmaceutical products intended for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes, presented in measured doses or retail packaging.

Within the broader heading 3004, which covers medicaments in finished forms, this subcategory is distinguished by its precise focus on antibiotics belonging to the penicillin or streptomycin families. While sibling categories like 3004.20 also cover antibiotics, 3004.10 is reserved for those with the specific structural characteristics mentioned. Other sibling categories are dedicated to medicaments containing hormones, alkaloids, vitamins, or antimalarial agents, clearly delineating them from the penicillin and streptomycin-based products.

The subcategories within 3004.10 provide further specificity. 3004.10.10 is dedicated to medicaments containing salts of penicillin G, a particular form of penicillin. The remaining products within this scope, including other penicillin derivatives or other forms of streptomycin, fall under the residual category of 3004.10.50. This structure allows for precise identification based on the specific antibiotic active ingredient and its form.
