HS v2022 Code: 3002

About human blood; animal blood for therapeutic, prophylactic or diagnostic uses; antisera, other blood fractions, immunological products, modified or obtained by biotechnological processes; vaccines, toxins, cultures of micro-organisms (excluding yeasts) etc

HS code 3002 covers a diverse range of products derived from human and animal blood, as well as various immunological and biotechnological products. This industry plays a crucial role in the healthcare sector, providing essential materials for therapeutic, prophylactic, and diagnostic applications. The products under this code are vital for the development and administration of life-saving treatments, vaccines, and diagnostic tools, making it a key component of the broader pharmaceutical and medical industries.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 3002 involves a range of specialized techniques, including blood collection, fractionation, and purification processes. Manufacturers utilize advanced biotechnological methods, such as cell culture and genetic engineering, to produce immunological products and vaccines. These processes are carefully regulated to ensure the safety, purity, and efficacy of the final products.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 3002 include raw materials such as human and animal blood, cell cultures, and various chemical reagents. Specialized equipment, such as centrifuges, bioreactors, and purification systems, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, the industry relies on a highly skilled workforce, including scientists, technicians, and medical professionals, to ensure the quality and safety of the final products.

Production outputs

The outputs of HS code 3002 include a wide range of products, such as human and animal blood for therapeutic and diagnostic uses, antisera, immunological products, vaccines, and cultures of micro-organisms. These outputs are primarily consumed by the healthcare industry, including hospitals, clinics, and pharmaceutical companies. Other relevant HS codes that may consume the outputs of this industry include 3001 Glands and other organs for organo-therapeutic uses, dried, whether or not powdered; extracts of glands or other organs or of their secretions for organo-therapeutic uses; heparin and its salts; other human or animal substances prepared for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, not elsewhere specified or included, 3006 Pharmaceutical goods specified in Note 4 to this Chapter, and 3822 Diagnostic or laboratory reagents on a backing, prepared diagnostic or laboratory reagents whether or not on a backing, other than those of heading 3002 or 3006; certified reference materials.
