3004.90.92.44 - Other

This HTS category, 3004.90.92.44, encompasses dermatological agents and local anesthetics that do not contain lidocaine or its salts. These products are specifically formulated for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, presented in measured doses or retail packaging. The scope includes a wide array of medicaments applied topically or administered locally for conditions affecting the skin or for numbing specific areas.

This specific subcategory is distinguished from its sibling, 3004.90.92.42, by the absence of lidocaine or its salts. While both categories cover dermatological agents and local anesthetics, the presence or absence of lidocaine is the key differentiating factor for customs classification purposes. Importers and exporters must carefully review the active ingredients to ensure accurate reporting.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Classification at this level requires a thorough understanding of the active pharmaceutical ingredients within the dermatological agents and local anesthetics, particularly confirming the exclusion of lidocaine. The ultimate classification hinges on the precise chemical composition and intended therapeutic application of the medicament.
