About medicaments; containing antibiotics other than penicillins, streptomycins and their derivatives, for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, (not in measured doses, not packaged for retail sale)

HS code 300320 covers a crucial segment of the pharmaceutical industry, encompassing medicaments containing antibiotics other than penicillins and streptomycins. These products play a vital role in therapeutic and prophylactic treatments, addressing a wide range of medical conditions and contributing significantly to global healthcare. As a key component of the broader 300000 Pharmaceutical products industry, this code represents an essential part of the global supply chain, impacting both domestic and international trade.

Production process

The production of medicaments under HS code 300320 involves a multi-step process. It typically begins with the extraction and purification of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), which are the antibiotic compounds. These APIs are then combined with various excipients, such as binders, fillers, and disintegrants, to create the final dosage form. The manufacturing process may involve techniques like granulation, tableting, or encapsulation, depending on the specific product requirements. Quality control measures, including testing for purity, potency, and stability, are crucial throughout the production cycle to ensure the safety and efficacy of the final medicaments.

Production inputs

The production of medicaments under HS code 300320 requires a range of inputs, including the raw materials for the APIs, such as fermentation broths or synthetic precursors, as well as the necessary excipients. Specialized manufacturing equipment, such as reactors, filtration systems, and tableting machines, are also essential for the production process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, including chemists, pharmaceutical scientists, and production technicians, to ensure the proper handling and processing of the materials.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 300320 is medicaments containing antibiotics other than penicillins and streptomycins, which are used for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes. These products are often consumed by the 300400 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 industry, as they may be further processed or packaged for retail sale. Additionally, the outputs of this code may be used in the production of 300390 Medicaments; containing hormones or other products of heading no. 2937 but not containing antibiotics, for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, not in measured doses, not packaged for retail sale and 300450 Medicaments; containing vitamins or other products of heading no. 2936, for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, in measured doses or packaged for retail sale.
