About medicaments; containing antimalarial active principles described in subheading note 2 to this chapter, for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, packaged for retail sale

HS code 300460 covers medicaments containing antimalarial active principles, packaged for retail sale. This code is of critical importance in the global healthcare industry, as antimalarial drugs play a vital role in the prevention and treatment of malaria, a life-threatening infectious disease that affects millions of people worldwide, particularly in developing countries. The production and distribution of these essential medicines are closely regulated to ensure quality, safety, and accessibility for those in need.

Production process

The production of medicaments under HS code 300460 typically involves a multi-step pharmaceutical manufacturing process. This includes the extraction and purification of active antimalarial compounds, formulation into stable and effective dosage forms (such as tablets, capsules, or syrups), and packaging the final products for retail distribution. Strict quality control measures are implemented throughout the production process to ensure the safety, efficacy, and consistency of the final medicaments.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of medicaments under HS code 300460 include the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) containing antimalarial compounds, as well as various excipients (such as binders, fillers, and disintegrants) used in the formulation process. Specialized pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment, including reactors, filtration systems, and packaging machinery, are also essential inputs for this industry. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce of chemists, pharmacists, and production technicians to oversee the complex manufacturing operations.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by HS code 300460 is a range of antimalarial medicaments, including tablets, capsules, and syrups, packaged for retail sale. These products are then distributed and consumed by healthcare providers, pharmacies, and individual patients for the prevention and treatment of malaria. The output of this industry may also be consumed by other healthcare-related industries, such as 300410 Medicaments; containing penicillins or derivatives thereof, with a penicillanic acid structure, or streptomycins or their derivatives, packaged for retail sale, 300420 Medicaments; containing other antibiotics, packaged for retail sale, and 300450 Medicaments; containing vitamins or other products of heading no. 2936, packaged for retail sale.
