Analysis
HTS 3003.90.01 covers medicaments (excluding goods of heading 3002, 3005 or 3006) consisting of two or more constituents which have been mixed together for therapeutic or… under heading 3003 (medicaments (excluding goods of heading 3002, 3005 or 3006) consisting of two or more…). US Customs collects import statistics for it under 5 ten-digit suffixes, reported in kilograms.
Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 93% of the 58 tariff lines in chapter 30. Chapter 99 measures such as Section 301 or 232 can still apply on top, depending on where the goods come from.
Goods from countries without normal trade relations pay the column 2 rate of 30% instead of nothing, so origin decides between free entry and a 30% duty.
The ten-digit suffixes separate antivirals, antifungals and antiprotozoals. The duty is the same across them; the suffix matters for statistics, licensing and some quotas, and an entry needs all ten digits.
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.
