HS v2022 Code: 300259

About cell cultures, whether or not modified; other cell cultures not including cell therapy products

HS code 300259 covers a diverse range of cell cultures, both modified and unmodified, that are used in a variety of applications across multiple industries. These cell cultures play a crucial role in scientific research, drug development, and the production of various biological products. As a key component of the broader biotechnology and life sciences sectors, the cell culture industry is a vital part of the global economy, contributing to advancements in fields such as medicine, agriculture, and environmental science.

Production process

The production of cell cultures under HS code 300259 typically involves the cultivation of cells in controlled laboratory environments. This process often starts with the isolation of specific cell types from various sources, such as animal tissues or microbial samples. The isolated cells are then propagated and maintained in specialized growth media, which provides the necessary nutrients and conditions for the cells to proliferate. Depending on the intended application, the cell cultures may undergo various modifications, such as genetic engineering or the introduction of specific stimuli, to enhance their desired properties or functionalities.

Production inputs

The production of cell cultures under HS code 300259 requires a range of inputs, including specialized cell culture media, laboratory equipment (e.g., incubators, bioreactors, and microscopes), and skilled personnel with expertise in cell biology and biotechnology. Additionally, the industry relies on a steady supply of raw materials, such as growth factors, antibiotics, and other reagents, to support the cultivation and maintenance of the cell cultures.

Production outputs

The cell cultures produced under HS code 300259 have a wide range of applications and can be used as inputs for various other industries and HS codes. These cell cultures may be used in 300215 Cell therapy medicinal products for the development of regenerative therapies, in 300210 Antisera and other blood fractions and modified immunological products for the production of biological drugs, or in 380210 Cultures of micro-organisms for research and development purposes. The versatility of these cell cultures makes them an essential component in the advancement of scientific knowledge and the development of innovative products and technologies.
