HS v2017 Code: 293722

About steroidal hormones, their derivatives and structural analogues; halogenated derivatives of corticosteroidal hormones

HS code 293722 covers a critical segment of the pharmaceutical industry, encompassing the production and trade of steroidal hormones, their derivatives, and structural analogues. These compounds play a vital role in regulating various physiological processes within the human body, making them essential for the development of a wide range of medical treatments and therapies. The global market for these products is substantial, with significant demand across the healthcare sector, contributing to the overall growth and importance of the pharmaceutical industry within the broader economy.

Production process

The production of steroidal hormones and their derivatives typically involves a multi-step process. It often begins with the extraction and purification of natural precursor compounds, such as cholesterol or other steroid-based raw materials. These are then subjected to a series of chemical reactions, including oxidation, reduction, and halogenation, to synthesize the desired steroidal compounds. Advanced techniques, such as biotechnology and enzymatic processes, are also employed to enhance the efficiency and purity of the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 293722 products include a range of raw materials, such as 290511 methanol, 290512 propan-1-ol, and other organic chemicals. Specialized equipment, such as chemical reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor, including chemists, process engineers, and quality control personnel, are necessary to ensure the safe and efficient production of these regulated pharmaceutical compounds.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 293722 are the various steroidal hormones, their derivatives, and structural analogues, which are then used as key ingredients in the formulation of a wide range of pharmaceutical products. These may include 300450 other medicaments containing vitamins or other products of heading 2936, 300490 other medicaments, and 300610 sterile surgical catgut, similar sterile suture materials and sterile tissue adhesives for surgical wound closure; sterile laminaria and sterile laminaria tents; sterile absorbable surgical or dental haemostatics, among others.
