Overview
This HTS category, 3822.12.00.00, specifically covers diagnostic or laboratory reagents that are prepared for the detection of Zika virus and other diseases transmitted by mosquitoes of the genus *Aedes*. These reagents are designed to identify the presence of specific antigens or antibodies related to these mosquito-borne illnesses. This classification applies whether the reagents are presented on a backing material, as a standalone prepared reagent, or as part of a kit.
It is important to distinguish this category from its siblings. HTS code 3822.11.00.00 covers reagents specifically for malaria diagnosis. Similarly, 3822.13.00.00 is reserved for reagents used in blood-grouping. Any diagnostic or laboratory reagents not falling into these specific mosquito-borne disease, malaria, or blood-grouping categories, or other specialized uses, would be classified under the residual category 3822.19.00.
As this is a leaf node in the HTS classification, there are no further subcategories under 3822.12.00.00. The classification is definitive based on the intended diagnostic purpose for Zika and other *Aedes*-transmitted diseases. When classifying, emphasis should be placed on the intended use of the reagent as indicated by labeling, accompanying literature, or product specifications.
