3004.20.00.10 - For veterinary use

This HTS category, 3004.20.00.10, specifically covers medicaments containing antibiotics. These are products intended for therapeutic or prophylactic use in animals, presented in measured doses such as tablets, capsules, injections, or transdermal patches, or in retail packaging suitable for direct sale to veterinary professionals or animal owners. The defining characteristic of this classification is the presence of one or more antibiotic substances as the active ingredient.

This category is distinguished from its sibling, 3004.20.00.15 (which would likely cover other medicaments containing antibiotics not for veterinary use), by its explicit application in veterinary medicine. While both may contain antibiotics, the intended recipient animal population is the sole differentiator at this level. The parent heading, 3004, encompasses a broad range of medicaments in measured doses or retail packings, excluding those specifically enumerated in headings 3002, 3005, or 3006.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS, there are no further subcategories for this specific classification. Therefore, the classification process will focus on verifying that the product contains an antibiotic and is indeed intended for veterinary use, conforming to the conditions of measured doses or retail packaging as outlined in the parent heading. Examples include antibiotic treatments for common animal infections, preventative medications containing antibiotics, or specialized veterinary antibiotic formulations.
