HS v2022 Code: 3001

About glands and other organs (extracts, secretions thereof) for organo-therapeutic uses, dried, powdered or not; heparin and its salts; other human or animal substances for therapeutic or prophylactic uses n.e.c.

HS code 3001 covers a diverse range of products derived from human and animal sources for therapeutic and prophylactic uses. These substances, which include glands, organs, and their extracts, play a crucial role in the pharmaceutical and medical industries, providing essential ingredients for various treatments and preventive healthcare measures. As a highly specialized and regulated sector, this industry is integral to the broader healthcare ecosystem, contributing to advancements in medical science and the well-being of populations worldwide.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 3001 typically involves the extraction, processing, and purification of various biological materials. This may include the harvesting of glands, organs, or other tissues from human or animal sources, followed by drying, powdering, or other techniques to preserve the active compounds. In the case of heparin, the production process involves the extraction and refinement of this anticoagulant substance from animal sources, such as porcine intestines. The specific methods employed can vary depending on the nature of the final product and the applicable regulatory standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 3001 include the raw biological materials, such as glands, organs, and other human or animal substances. Additionally, specialized equipment and facilities for the extraction, processing, and purification of these materials are essential. Depending on the product, other inputs may include solvents, reagents, and packaging materials. The industry also relies on a skilled workforce with expertise in fields like biochemistry, pharmacology, and quality control.

Production outputs

The outputs of the industry covered by HS code 3001 include a wide range of products used in the pharmaceutical, medical, and healthcare sectors. These include dried or powdered glandular extracts, heparin and its salts, and other human or animal-derived substances for therapeutic or prophylactic uses. The products from this industry are often used as active ingredients in various medications, supplements, and medical treatments. Some of the other HS codes that may consume the outputs of this industry include 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), 3006 Pharmaceutical goods, and 3002 (Human blood; animal blood prepared for therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic uses; antisera, other blood fractions and immunological products, whether or not modified or obtained by means of biotechnological processes; vaccines, toxins, cultures of micro-organisms (excluding yeasts) and similar products).
