About vitamins; vitamin e and its derivatives, unmixed

HS code 293628 covers the import and export of vitamin E and its derivatives, which are essential nutrients for human health. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble antioxidant that plays a crucial role in maintaining cell integrity, supporting the immune system, and promoting cardiovascular health. As a result, the global demand for vitamin E and its derivatives has been steadily increasing, driven by growing awareness of the importance of nutritional supplements and the rising prevalence of chronic diseases.

Production process

Vitamin E is primarily produced through chemical synthesis, where various precursor compounds are combined and processed to extract the desired form of vitamin E. The production process typically involves a series of steps, including extraction, purification, and formulation, to ensure the final product meets quality and purity standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of vitamin E and its derivatives include chemical precursors, such as tocopherols and tocotrienols, as well as specialized equipment and machinery for the various stages of the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in chemical synthesis, quality control, and regulatory compliance.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 293628 are various forms of vitamin E, including alpha-tocopherol, gamma-tocopherol, and their derivatives. These vitamin E products are widely used in the pharmaceutical, dietary supplement, and cosmetic industries. Other HS codes that may consume the output of 293628 include 300490 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, 330499 Cosmetic and toilet preparations; not elsewhere specified or included, and 210690 Food preparations; not elsewhere specified or included.
