Analysis
Heading 3004 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule covers medicaments (excluding goods of heading 3002, 3005 or 3006) consisting of mixed or unmixed products for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, put up in measured doses (including those in the form of transdermal…. It divides into 12 six-digit subheadings and 18 eight-digit tariff lines, with 138 ten-digit statistical suffixes below them.
Every one of its 18 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 3004.50 (containing vitamins synthesized wholly or in part…, 5 lines), 3004.10 (containing penicillins or derivatives thereof…, 2 lines), 3004.90 (other, 2 lines) and 3004.20 (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.
