HS v2022 Code: 293979

About alkaloids; of vegetal origin, other than cocaine, ecgonine; salts, esters and other derivatives; n.e.c. in heading no. 2939

HS code 293979 covers a diverse range of alkaloid compounds derived from natural, plant-based sources. These alkaloids, which exclude cocaine and ecgonine, have a wide variety of applications in the pharmaceutical, agricultural, and industrial sectors. They play a crucial role in the global economy, serving as key ingredients in the production of various medications, pesticides, and other specialized products.

Production process

The production of alkaloids under HS code 293979 typically involves the extraction and purification of these compounds from plant materials. This process often starts with the harvesting and processing of the relevant plant species, followed by the application of various extraction techniques such as solvent-based extraction, distillation, or chromatographic separation. The extracted alkaloids are then further refined and purified to meet the specific requirements of their intended applications.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of alkaloids under HS code 293979 include the raw plant materials, such as leaves, roots, or seeds, which serve as the source of the alkaloid compounds. Additionally, the production process may require various solvents, reagents, and specialized equipment for the extraction, purification, and formulation of the final products.

Production outputs

The alkaloids produced under HS code 293979 have a wide range of applications, including the manufacture of 300490 (Medicaments; consisting of mixed or unmixed products for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, put up in measured doses (including those in the form of transdermal administration systems), or in forms or packings for retail sale), 380810 (Insecticides, rodenticides, fungicides, herbicides, anti-sprouting products and plant-growth regulators, disinfectants and similar products, put up in forms or packings for retail sale or as preparations or articles (e.g. sulphur-treated bands, wicks and candles, and fly-papers)), and other specialized products. These alkaloids may also be used as intermediates or precursors in the production of various 293999 (Heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen hetero-atom(s) only, n.e.c. in heading no. 2939).
