About pharmaceutical goods; dental cements and other dental fillings, bone reconstruction cements

HS code 300640 covers a diverse range of pharmaceutical and dental products that play a crucial role in the healthcare industry. These goods, which include dental cements, fillings, and bone reconstruction materials, are essential for maintaining oral health, repairing dental issues, and supporting the recovery of bone-related injuries or conditions. As a key component of the broader pharmaceutical and medical device sectors, this industry is integral to the overall well-being of populations around the world.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 300640 typically involves a combination of chemical synthesis, formulation, and specialized manufacturing processes. Dental cements and fillings are often created through the mixing and curing of various polymers, resins, and other compounds to achieve the desired properties, such as strength, adhesion, and biocompatibility. Bone reconstruction cements, on the other hand, may be produced using a blend of calcium-based materials, growth factors, and other specialized ingredients to promote bone regeneration and healing.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 300640 include a variety of raw materials, such as polymers, resins, calcium-based compounds, and other specialized chemicals. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized machinery and equipment for the precise mixing, molding, and curing of these materials. Skilled personnel, including chemists, engineers, and dental professionals, are also essential for the development and manufacturing of these highly specialized products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the industry covered by HS code 300640 are dental cements, fillings, and bone reconstruction materials. These products are then consumed by 300410 Medicaments; containing penicillins or derivatives thereof, with a penicillanic acid structure, or streptomycins or their derivatives, 300490 Medicaments; n.e.c. in heading no. 3004, and 330610 Preparations for oral or dental hygiene, among other related industries and end-users. The specialized nature of these goods ensures their importance in the broader healthcare and medical sectors.
