HS v2017 Code: 300220

About vaccines; for human medicine

HS code 300220 covers vaccines for human medicine, a critical component of global healthcare and disease prevention. This industry plays a vital role in safeguarding public health and supporting the broader pharmaceutical sector. Vaccines are essential for protecting individuals and communities against a wide range of infectious diseases, contributing to improved quality of life and reduced healthcare costs worldwide.

Production process

The production of vaccines for human medicine typically involves several key steps. First, the target pathogen is isolated and cultured in a controlled laboratory environment. The active components are then extracted, purified, and combined with other ingredients, such as adjuvants, to enhance the immune response. Finally, the vaccine is formulated, packaged, and subjected to rigorous testing and quality control measures before being approved for distribution and use.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of vaccines under HS code 300220 include specialized laboratory equipment, cell cultures, growth media, and a range of raw materials such as 300210 Antisera and other blood fractions, 300190 Medicaments; consisting of mixed or unmixed products for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, put up in measured doses or in forms or packings for retail sale, and various chemical compounds. Additionally, skilled researchers, scientists, and production personnel are essential for the development and manufacturing of these critical healthcare products.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 300220 is a diverse range of vaccines for the prevention and treatment of human diseases. These vaccines may be targeted towards specific pathogens, such as 300215 Vaccines; for human medicine, not put up in measured doses or in forms or packings for retail sale or 300239 Vaccines; for human medicine, put up in measured doses or in forms or packings for retail sale, n.e.c. in heading no. 3002. The vaccines produced under this code are then distributed to healthcare providers, governments, and international organizations for widespread immunization programs.
