2937.90.05

Analysis

HTS 2937.90.05 covers catecholamine hormones, their derivatives and structural analogues: epinephrine under heading 2937 (hormones, prostaglandins, thromboxanes and leukotrienes, natural or reproduced by…).

Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 26% of the 1050 tariff lines in chapter 29. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.

Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 325412 (Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing), an industry of 1,436 US establishments employing 170,029 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.

All 5 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.

The general rate of Free has not changed in any edition of the schedule since Jan 2023.
