HS v2017 Code: 294190

About antibiotics; n.e.c. in heading no. 2941

HS code 294190 covers a wide range of antibiotics that are not classified elsewhere in heading 2941. Antibiotics are essential pharmaceutical products that play a crucial role in modern medicine, helping to treat and prevent bacterial infections. This industry is a vital component of the broader healthcare sector, contributing to improved public health and quality of life worldwide.

Production process

The production of antibiotics under HS code 294190 typically involves complex fermentation and chemical synthesis processes. Microorganisms, such as bacteria and fungi, are often used to produce the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) through fermentation. These APIs are then further refined and processed through various chemical reactions and purification steps to create the final antibiotic products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of antibiotics under HS code 294190 include raw materials such as fermentation media, chemical precursors, and solvents. Specialized equipment, such as bioreactors, centrifuges, and purification systems, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, skilled labor, including microbiologists, chemists, and pharmaceutical technicians, is necessary to ensure the quality and safety of the final products.

Production outputs

Antibiotics produced under HS code 294190 are primarily used in the pharmaceutical industry to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. These antibiotics may be consumed by other HS codes, such as 300410 Medicaments containing penicillins or derivatives thereof, with a penicillanic acid structure, or streptomycins or their derivatives, 300420 Medicaments containing other antibiotics, and 300450 Other medicaments containing vitamins or other products of heading 2936, which are involved in the formulation and distribution of finished pharmaceutical products.
