HS v2022 Code: 293945
About alkaloids; of ephedrine and their derivatives; levometamfetamine, metamfetamine (inn), metamefetamine racemate and their salts
HS code 293945 covers a range of alkaloid compounds derived from ephedrine, a naturally occurring stimulant found in certain plants. These substances have important pharmaceutical and industrial applications, particularly in the production of medications and controlled substances. The global trade in these alkaloids is a significant component of the broader pharmaceutical and chemical industries, with far-reaching economic implications.
Production process
The production of the alkaloids covered under HS code 293945 typically involves the extraction and purification of ephedrine from plant sources, followed by chemical synthesis and modification to create the desired derivatives. This process often requires specialized equipment and expertise in organic chemistry, as well as strict regulatory oversight to ensure compliance with relevant laws and safety standards.
Production inputs
The main inputs for the production of the alkaloids in this HS code include the raw plant material containing ephedrine, as well as various chemical reagents, solvents, and catalysts used in the extraction and synthesis processes. Additionally, specialized laboratory equipment, such as distillation apparatus and chromatography systems, are essential for the purification and isolation of the final products.
Production outputs
The alkaloids produced under HS code 293945 have a wide range of applications, primarily in the pharmaceutical industry for the manufacture of medications and controlled substances. These outputs may be further processed or incorporated into 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, 300220 Vaccines, for human medicine or 300290 Vaccines, for veterinary medicine.
