3004.90.92.91 - Other

This classification, HTS 3004.90.92.91, represents "Other" medicaments under the broader category of pharmaceuticals. It encompasses therapeutic or prophylactic preparations that are not specifically defined by other subheadings within heading 3004, nor are they classified under headings 3002 (human blood, animal blood, antisera, vaccines, toxins, cultures of micro-organisms), 3005 (wadding, gauze, bandages, etc., for medical purposes), or 3006 (antiseptic-impregnated bandages, etc.). The medicaments here are mixed or unmixed products, provided in measured doses or retail packings, suitable for medical application.

Unlike its sibling categories, such as anti-infective, cardiovascular, central nervous system, or dermatological medicaments, this "Other" classification serves as a residual category for pharmaceutical preparations that do not fit into more specific therapeutic or functional groupings. The key distinguishing factor lies in the absence of a primary therapeutic or prophylactic use that aligns with the more specialized sibling subheadings. Classification here relies on the lack of a defined primary function that would place the product into a more specific sibling category.

As this is a leaf node, there are no further subcategories. Therefore, the primary consideration for classifying goods under HTS 3004.90.92.91 is to first exhaust all more specific classifications within heading 3004 and other related headings. If a medicament, in measured doses or retail packing, does not meet the criteria for anti-infective, antineoplastic, cardiovascular, CNS, dermatological, or other specifically enumerated medicaments, it will fall into this residual "Other" category. This ensures all pharmaceutical products of this nature are accounted for within the tariff schedule.
