About medicaments; containing antibiotics (other than penicillins, streptomycins or their derivatives), for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, packaged for retail sale

HS code 300420 covers medicaments containing antibiotics (other than penicillins, streptomycins or their derivatives) that are packaged for retail sale and used for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes. This industry plays a crucial role in the global healthcare system, providing essential medicines to treat a wide range of bacterial infections and prevent the spread of diseases. As a key component of the pharmaceutical sector, the 300420 industry contributes significantly to the overall economy, with its products being in high demand worldwide.

Production process

The production of medicaments under HS code 300420 involves several key steps. First, the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) containing the specific antibiotics are synthesized through complex chemical processes. These APIs are then combined with various excipients, such as binders, fillers, and coatings, to create the final dosage form, which can include tablets, capsules, or solutions. Quality control measures, including testing for purity, potency, and stability, are implemented throughout the manufacturing process to ensure the safety and efficacy of the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of medicaments under HS code 300420 include the raw materials for the API synthesis, such as chemical precursors and reagents, as well as the various excipients used in the formulation. Additionally, specialized equipment, such as reactors, purification systems, and packaging machinery, are essential for the manufacturing process. Skilled personnel, including chemists, pharmacists, and production technicians, are also a critical input for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 300420 industry is the finished medicaments containing antibiotics (other than penicillins, streptomycins or their derivatives) that are packaged for retail sale. These products are then distributed and sold to healthcare providers, pharmacies, and consumers for the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections. The output of this industry may be consumed by other HS codes, such as 300450 Medicaments; containing vitamins or other products of heading no. 2936, for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, packaged for retail sale and 300490 Medicaments; n.e.c. in heading no. 3004, for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, packaged for retail sale.
