3004.50.50.40 - Other

This HTS subcategory, 3004.50.50.40, specifically encompasses "Other" medicaments containing vitamins, excluding those combined with minerals or other nutrients. It falls under the broader classification of pharmaceutical preparations containing vitamins or other products of heading 2936, which are presented in measured doses or for retail sale for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes. The key criterion for inclusion here is the sole or predominant presence of vitamins, without significant co-formulation with minerals or other dietary supplements that would place them in a sibling category.

To distinguish this category from its sibling, 3004.50.50.30, it is important to note that the latter explicitly covers medicaments where vitamins are combined with minerals or other nutrients. Therefore, if a product contains both vitamins and minerals, it would be classified under the sibling category. This subcategory is reserved for vitamin-only formulations, whether single vitamin preparations or multiple vitamin combinations, where the primary active ingredients are vitamins and no other significant nutrient categories are present.

As this is a leaf node within the HTS classification system, there are no further subcategories to introduce. Classification decisions at this level are based on a thorough analysis of the product's composition and intended use, ensuring that it accurately reflects a pharmaceutical preparation primarily composed of vitamins for health-related purposes. This includes pure vitamin supplements in pill, capsule, liquid, or injectable forms, provided they meet the general requirements of heading 3004.
