Overview
This HTS category, 3004.90.10.00, specifically covers medicaments, as defined in heading 3004, which contain as active ingredients either antigens or hyaluronic acid, or its sodium salt. These products are intended for therapeutic or prophylactic uses and are presented in measured doses or in forms and packings suitable for retail sale. The presence of antigens or hyaluronic acid (or its sodium salt) as a key component is the defining characteristic for classification under this subheading.
Distinguishing this category from its sibling, 3004.90.92 ("Other"), is crucial. While 3004.90.92 serves as a residual category for medicaments under heading 3004 not otherwise specified, 3004.90.10.00 is for a distinct group of medicaments characterized by the inclusion of antigens or hyaluronic acid/its sodium salt. Therefore, if a medicament falls within the scope of heading 3004 and contains either of these specific active ingredients, it will be classified here rather than in the more general "Other" category.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS, there are no further subcategories. Classification under 3004.90.10.00 is final based on the presence of antigens or hyaluronic acid (or its sodium salt) within the medicament. Examples of products that would be classified here include vaccines (containing antigens) and certain dermatological or ophthalmic preparations formulated with hyaluronic acid for wound healing or lubrication.
