Overview
This HTS classification, 3004.90.92.31, specifically identifies medicaments containing acetaminophen or its salts, intended for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, and presented in a form suitable for oral suspension. This implies preparations that are designed to be mixed with a liquid before administration, facilitating easier consumption, particularly for individuals who have difficulty swallowing solid dosage forms. The "oral suspension" designation is critical for distinguishing these products from other forms of medicaments containing acetaminophen.
Compared to its sibling category, 3004.90.92.32, which broadly covers "Other" medicaments containing acetaminophen or its salts in forms other than oral suspension, this specific subcategory focuses exclusively on those preparations formulated for liquid reconstitution. For instance, powdered or granular forms intended to be suspended in water or another beverage would fall here, whereas tablets, capsules, or ready-to-drink liquid suspensions containing acetaminophen would likely be classified under the broader "Other" sibling.
As this classification is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification at this level hinges entirely on confirming that the medicament contains acetaminophen or its salts and is specifically prepared and packaged for oral suspension. The key differentiator is the physical form and intended method of administration, aligning with the overarching scope of Chapter 30 for medicaments in measured doses or for retail sale.
