Analysis
Heading 3003 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers medicaments (excluding goods of heading 3002, 3005 or 3006) consisting of two or more constituents which have been mixed together for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, not put up in measured doses or in forms or…. It divides into 10 six-digit subheadings and 11 eight-digit tariff lines, with 15 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
Every one of its 11 tariff lines is duty-free at the general rate, so classification within the heading affects statistics and Chapter 99 measures rather than the base duty.
The largest subheadings are 3003.39 (other, 2 lines), 3003.10 (unnamed, 1 line), 3003.20 (unnamed, 1 line) and 3003.31 (unnamed, 1 line).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Pharmaceutical Preparation Manufacturing (325412). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
Its median rate of duty-free sits at the 47th percentile of the headings in chapter 30.
