About vitamins; n.e.c. in heading no. 2936, including natural concentrates

HS code 293690 covers a wide range of vitamins, including both synthetic and natural concentrates, that are not classified elsewhere in the 2936 heading. These vitamins play a crucial role in maintaining human health and well-being, and are widely used in the pharmaceutical, food, and dietary supplement industries. The global vitamins market is a significant contributor to the broader healthcare and nutrition sectors, with a growing demand driven by increasing health consciousness and an aging population.

Production process

The production of vitamins under HS code 293690 typically involves a combination of chemical synthesis and extraction from natural sources. Synthetic vitamins are produced through various chemical processes, while natural concentrates are obtained by extracting and purifying vitamins from plant or animal sources. Advanced extraction techniques, such as supercritical fluid extraction and chromatography, are often employed to ensure high purity and potency of the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of vitamins under HS code 293690 include raw materials such as chemical precursors, solvents, and catalysts for synthetic vitamins, as well as plant or animal-based materials for natural concentrates. Additionally, specialized equipment like reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems are essential for the manufacturing process. Skilled personnel with expertise in organic chemistry, biochemistry, and quality control are also crucial inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 293690 industry are various types of vitamins, including but not limited to vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K. These vitamins are then used as ingredients in a wide range of products, such as 300410 Medicaments; containing vitamins or minerals, 210690 Food preparations; n.e.c. in item no. 2106.90, and 210610 Protein concentrates and textured protein substances. The vitamins produced under this code are essential for maintaining human health and are in high demand across the healthcare, food, and dietary supplement sectors.
