HS v2017 Code: 300660

About pharmaceutical goods; chemical contraceptive preparations based on hormones, on other products of heading 2937 or on spermicides

HS code 300660 covers a critical segment of the pharmaceutical industry, focusing on the production of chemical contraceptive preparations. These products play a vital role in family planning and reproductive health, contributing to the overall well-being of communities worldwide. As a highly regulated and specialized field, the 300660 industry is an essential component of the broader healthcare ecosystem, with significant economic and social implications.

Production process

The production of chemical contraceptive preparations under HS code 300660 involves a complex process that combines advanced pharmaceutical manufacturing techniques with strict quality control measures. Key steps include the synthesis of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) derived from hormones or other products of heading 2937 Chemical compounds containing a non-aromatic ring-nitrogen atom and the formulation of these APIs into stable, effective, and safe contraceptive products. Manufacturers must adhere to good manufacturing practices (GMP) and comply with stringent regulatory requirements to ensure the safety and efficacy of the final products.

Production inputs

The 300660 industry relies on a range of specialized inputs, including high-purity chemical precursors, advanced pharmaceutical-grade manufacturing equipment, and skilled labor. Manufacturers must source APIs and other key ingredients from reliable suppliers, often with strict quality and traceability standards. Additionally, the industry requires access to specialized testing and analytical equipment to ensure the quality and consistency of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 300660 industry is a diverse range of chemical contraceptive preparations, including oral contraceptives, intrauterine devices (IUDs), and topical spermicides. These products are then distributed and consumed by end-users, such as healthcare providers, family planning clinics, and individual consumers. The outputs of the 300660 industry are closely linked to other pharmaceutical codes, such as 3004 (Medicaments (excluding goods of heading 3002, 3005 or 3006) 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 3006 Pharmaceutical goods, as these codes may encompass the distribution, packaging, and final consumption of the contraceptive preparations.
