About allobarbital (inn), amobarbital (inn), barbital (inn), butalbital (inn), butobarbital, cyclobarbital (inn), methylphenobarbital (inn), pentobarbital (inn), phenobarbital (inn), secbutabarbital (inn), secobarbital (inn) and vinylbital (inn); salts thereof

HS code 293353 covers a group of barbiturate drugs that are primarily used as sedatives, hypnotics, and anticonvulsants. These substances play a crucial role in the pharmaceutical industry, providing effective treatments for conditions such as insomnia, anxiety, and seizure disorders. As part of the broader 29 Organic chemicals sector, this code represents an important segment of the global import/export trade in medicinal and pharmaceutical products.

Production process

The production of the substances covered under HS code 293353 typically involves a multi-step chemical synthesis process. This may include the reaction of various organic compounds, such as alcohols or carboxylic acids, with barbituric acid or its derivatives. The resulting barbiturate compounds are then purified and formulated into various dosage forms, such as tablets, capsules, or solutions, for distribution and use in the medical field.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of the substances under HS code 293353 include raw materials such as barbituric acid, various organic precursors, and solvents. Additionally, specialized pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment, such as reactors, distillation columns, and drying systems, are necessary to ensure the proper synthesis, purification, and formulation of these barbiturate drugs. Skilled personnel with expertise in organic chemistry and pharmaceutical production processes are also a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 293353 are the various barbiturate drugs, including allobarbital, amobarbital, barbital, butalbital, butobarbital, cyclobarbital, methylphenobarbital, pentobarbital, phenobarbital, secbutabarbital, secobarbital, and vinylbital, as well as their salts. These substances are then consumed by the 30 Pharmaceutical products industry, where they are used in the production of prescription medications and other healthcare products.

Revisions to 293353
