3004.49.00 - Other

This HTS classification, 3004.49.00, covers medicaments for therapeutic or prophylactic use that contain alkaloids or their derivatives, but are not specifically listed under preceding subheadings. The key characteristic is the presence of alkaloids or derived compounds as active ingredients, presented in measured doses or retail packaging. This "Other" category acts as a residual for alkaloid-containing pharmaceuticals not falling into more specific groupings within heading 3004.4.

Unlike the sibling categories 3004.41, 3004.42, and 3004.43, which specifically identify medicaments containing ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or norephedrine, respectively, 3004.49.00 encompasses a broader range of alkaloid-based pharmaceuticals. If a medicament contains an alkaloid or derivative that is not ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, or norephedrine, it would likely be classified here, provided it meets the general criteria for medicaments in measured doses or retail for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes.

Within this category, further subdivisions exist to refine the classification. Subcategory 3004.49.00.05 specifically addresses medicaments of this type intended for veterinary use. The remaining subcategory, also labeled "Other," accounts for any remaining medicaments containing alkaloids or their derivatives that are not for veterinary use and not specifically enumerated in the preceding sibling categories.
