3004.50.50.10 - Combined with minerals or other nutrients

This HTS subcategory, 3004.50.50.10, specifically classifies medicaments containing single vitamins intended for therapeutic or prophylactic use. These products are presented in measured doses or in forms suitable for retail sale, aligning with the broader definition of medicaments under heading 3004. The defining characteristic for classification here is the presence of a singular vitamin as the primary active ingredient, differentiating it from more complex formulations.

Distinguishing this subcategory from its sibling, 3004.50.50.20 "Other," is crucial. While both fall under "Other" medicaments containing vitamins, 3004.50.50.10 is reserved for those where a single vitamin is the sole vitamin component. The sibling category would encompass medicaments containing multiple vitamins, or those where vitamins are present in combination with other nutrients not classified under heading 2936.

As a leaf node, this classification does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, emphasis should be placed on identifying products that solely contain a single vitamin (e.g., Vitamin C tablets, Vitamin D capsules) and are presented in a manner suitable for direct administration or retail purchase. Products containing multiple vitamins, or those where vitamins are combined with minerals or other nutritional supplements, would fall under the alternative sibling category.
