About medicaments; containing antimalarial active principles described in subheading note 2 to this chapter, for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, packaged for retail sale

HS code 300460 covers medicaments containing antimalarial active principles, packaged for retail sale. This industry plays a crucial role in the global healthcare system, providing essential treatments for malaria, a life-threatening infectious disease that affects millions of people worldwide, particularly in developing countries. The production and distribution of these antimalarial medications are vital components of the broader pharmaceutical industry, contributing to improved public health outcomes and economic development.

Production process

The production of medicaments under HS code 300460 typically involves a multi-step process. It begins with the extraction and purification of the active antimalarial ingredients, often from natural sources or through synthetic chemical processes. These active compounds are then formulated into various dosage forms, such as tablets, capsules, or syrups, to ensure optimal bioavailability and ease of administration. Rigorous quality control measures are implemented throughout the manufacturing process to ensure the safety, efficacy, and consistency of the final products.

Production inputs

The production of medicaments under HS code 300460 requires a range of inputs, including active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), excipients (such as binders, fillers, and disintegrants), packaging materials, and specialized manufacturing equipment. The APIs are typically sourced from 290369 (Heterocyclic compounds with nitrogen hetero-atom(s) only) or 290420 Carboxylic acids with additional oxygen function and their anhydrides, halides, peroxides and peroxyacids; their halogenated, sulphonated, nitrated or nitrosated derivatives classifications. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced pharmaceutical processing machinery, such as tablet presses, encapsulators, and packaging lines, to ensure efficient and consistent production.
