About steroidal hormones, their derivatives and structural analogues; other than cortisone, hydrocortisone, prednisone (dehydrocortisone), prednisolone (dehydrohydrocortisone), halogenated derivatives of corticosteroidal hormones, oestrogen and progestogens

HS code 293729 covers a range of steroidal hormones and their derivatives, excluding certain specific compounds. These hormones play a crucial role in regulating various physiological processes within the human body, making them an essential part of the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. The production and trade of these compounds are closely monitored and regulated to ensure their safe and effective use.

Production process

The production of steroidal hormones covered under HS code 293729 typically involves a multi-step process. It often begins with the extraction and purification of raw materials, such as plant-based sterols or animal-derived precursors. These are then subjected to a series of chemical reactions, including oxidation, reduction, and structural modifications, to synthesize the desired steroidal compounds. Advanced techniques, such as biotechnology and enzymatic processes, may also be employed to enhance the efficiency and purity of the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of steroidal hormones under HS code 293729 include raw materials, such as 293723 Estrogens and progestogens, 293724 Adrenal cortical hormones, and other steroid-based compounds. Additionally, specialized equipment, such as chemical reactors, distillation columns, and purification systems, are necessary to ensure the quality and consistency of the final products. Skilled personnel with expertise in organic chemistry, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and quality control are also crucial for this industry.

Production outputs

The steroidal hormones and their derivatives produced under HS code 293729 are primarily used in the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries. These compounds find applications in the treatment of various medical conditions, including hormone imbalances, reproductive disorders, and inflammatory diseases. The outputs from this industry may be further processed or incorporated into 300 Pharmaceutical products or 301 Medicinal and pharmaceutical products, other than pharmaceutical preparations, depending on the specific end-use requirements.
