Overview
This HTS category, 3004.90.92.13, specifically classifies sulfonamides when presented as medicaments. Sulfonamides are a group of synthetic antimicrobial agents derived from sulfanilamide, characterized by their antibacterial properties. These medicaments are intended for therapeutic or prophylactic uses and are put up in measured doses or in forms suitable for retail sale, aligning with the broader scope of heading 3004.
Distinguishing this category from its siblings, it specifically isolates sulfonamides. Other subcategories within 3004.90.92.13 might cover different classes of anti-infective medicaments, such as antivirals (3004.90.92.02), antifungals, or antiprotozoals, each targeting distinct types of pathogens. This specific subheading ensures that medicaments based on sulfonamide compounds are correctly identified and segregated for duty and regulatory purposes.
As this is a leaf node, there are no further subdivisions under this specific HTS code. Classification under 3004.90.92.13 is therefore definitive for sulfonamide-based medicaments that do not fall under more specific subheadings. Examples would include formulations containing sulfamethoxazole, sulfadiazine, or other medically relevant sulfonamide derivatives, when packaged for direct administration to patients.
