About glands and other organs; extracts of glands or other organs or of their secretions, for organo-therapeutic uses

HS code 300120 covers the trade of glands, organs, and their extracts used for organo-therapeutic purposes. This industry plays a vital role in the pharmaceutical and medical sectors, providing essential raw materials for the production of various therapeutic drugs and treatments. The global market for these products has been steadily growing, driven by the increasing demand for innovative and effective healthcare solutions.

Production process

The production of glands, organs, and their extracts for organo-therapeutic uses typically involves a multi-step process. First, the source materials, such as animal glands or organs, are carefully harvested and processed to extract the desired active compounds. This may involve techniques like homogenization, centrifugation, and purification to isolate the target substances. The extracted compounds are then further refined, standardized, and formulated into various pharmaceutical preparations, such as tablets, capsules, or injectable solutions.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for this industry include the raw animal materials (e.g., glands, organs), specialized processing equipment (e.g., homogenizers, centrifuges, purification systems), and various chemical reagents and solvents used in the extraction and refinement processes. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, including scientists, technicians, and quality control personnel, to ensure the safety, efficacy, and consistency of the final products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of this industry are the various gland and organ extracts used for organo-therapeutic purposes. These products are often used as active ingredients in pharmaceutical preparations, such as 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, 300610 Pharmaceutical goods specified in Note 4 to this Chapter, and 300640 Dental cements and other dental fillings; bone reconstruction cements.
