About blood, human or animal, antisera, other blood fractions and immunological products; n.e.c. in heading 3002.1

HS code 300219 covers a critical segment of the pharmaceutical industry, dealing with the production and processing of blood-derived products. These products, including human and animal blood, antisera, and various blood fractions, play a vital role in medical treatments, diagnostic procedures, and the development of immunological therapies. This industry is essential for meeting the growing global demand for safe and effective blood-based products, which are used in a wide range of healthcare applications.

Production process

The production of blood-derived products under HS code 300219 involves several key steps. First, blood is collected from human or animal sources, often through voluntary donation programs. The blood is then processed to separate it into its various components, such as plasma, red blood cells, and platelets. These components are then further purified, concentrated, and formulated into specialized products, such as immunoglobulins, clotting factors, and albumin. Advanced techniques, including chromatography, filtration, and viral inactivation, are employed to ensure the safety and purity of the final products.

Production inputs

The production of blood-derived products under HS code 300219 requires a range of inputs, including raw materials, specialized equipment, and skilled labor. The primary raw material is, of course, human or animal blood, which is obtained through donation programs or other sources. Additionally, the industry relies on various chemicals, reagents, and consumables for the processing and purification of the blood components. Specialized equipment, such as centrifuges, chromatography systems, and sterile manufacturing facilities, are essential for the production of these highly regulated and sensitive products. The industry also requires a skilled workforce, including medical professionals, scientists, and technicians, to ensure the safe and efficient production of these critical healthcare products.

Production outputs

The main outputs of the industry covered by HS code 300219 are a wide range of blood-derived products, including 300215 Human blood; antisera, other blood fractions and immunological products, 300216 Antisera and other blood fractions, and 300218 Immunological products, put up in measured doses or in forms or packings for retail sale. These products are used in a variety of medical applications, such as the treatment of blood disorders, the management of immune system-related conditions, and the development of diagnostic tests. The outputs of this industry are often consumed by other healthcare-related industries, such as 300210 Antisera and other blood fractions and modified immunological products, 300290 (Human blood; animal blood prepared for therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic uses; toxins, cultures of micro-organisms (excluding yeasts) and similar products), and 300450 Other medicaments of mixed or unmixed products, among others.
