3004.90.92.36 - Anticonvulsants, hypnotics and sedatives

This HTS category, 3004.90.92.36, specifically classifies medicaments that function as anticonvulsants, hypnotics, and sedatives. These are pharmaceutical products, whether in single or mixed forms, designed for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes. The goods are presented in measured doses or in retail packaging, indicating their intended use for direct administration to individuals.

This category is distinct from its sibling categories. For instance, it excludes analgesics, antipyretics, and nonhormonal anti-inflammatory agents, as well as antidepressants, tranquilizers, and other psychotherapeutic agents, even though these may also affect the central nervous system. The defining characteristic here is the specific pharmacological action of preventing or controlling seizures (anticonvulsants), inducing sleep (hypnotics), or calming and reducing nervous excitement (sedatives).

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, classification within 3004.90.92.36 relies heavily on the specific active ingredients and their documented pharmacological effects. Examples of products falling into this classification include various prescription medications used to treat epilepsy, insomnia, and anxiety disorders, provided they meet the criteria of being packaged and intended for therapeutic use as anticonvulsants, hypnotics, or sedatives.
