Overview
This HTS category, 3006.50.00.00, specifically encompasses first-aid boxes and kits. These are pre-assembled collections of medical supplies and dressings intended for immediate use in emergency situations to treat minor injuries or provide initial care. The emphasis is on the organized assortment of items within a container, designed for convenience and preparedness.
It is important to distinguish these kits from other products within heading 3006. For instance, while some items within a first-aid kit might include sterile dressings or bandages, they are classified under this heading when presented as part of a complete kit. This category does not cover individual sterile surgical materials (3006.10), diagnostic reagents (3006.30), dental cements (3006.40), or contraceptive preparations (3006.60), all of which have distinct classifications based on their specific intended use and composition.
As a leaf node in the HTS database, 3006.50.00.00 does not have further subdivisions. Therefore, classification within this code relies on the determination that the product is indeed a pre-packaged first-aid box or kit. This generally includes items such as bandages, gauze, antiseptic wipes, adhesive tape, scissors, and other essential emergency care supplies, all presented together in a ready-to-use format.
