Overview

This HTS classification, 3004.49.00.05, specifically designates medicaments for veterinary use that contain alkaloids or their derivatives. These products are formulated for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes in animals, presented in measured doses or in retail-ready packaging. The inclusion of "for veterinary use" is the primary defining characteristic, distinguishing these items from human pharmaceuticals.

Within the broader category of "Other, containing alkaloids or derivatives thereof," this subcategory acts as a final designation for veterinary preparations. It signifies that the medicament, while containing alkaloids or their derivatives, is not intended for human consumption or medical treatment. The "Other" designation at this level means it does not fall under any more specific subclassifications within the veterinary alkaloid-based medicament group.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 3004.49.00.05 is therefore determined by the product's intended use for animals, its composition of alkaloids or their derivatives, and its presentation in measured doses or retail packaging. Examples would include veterinary pain relievers, sedatives, or anti-parasitic treatments specifically formulated for animal health that contain alkaloid-based active ingredients.
