Explore global trade with HS codes

HS Code 3004 encompasses medicaments consisting of mixed or unmixed products for therapeutic or prophylactic use, in measured doses or packaged for retail sale. The classification includes specific subcategories for products containing penicillins/antibiotics (3004.10-3004.20), hormones (3004.31-3004.39), alkaloids (3004.41-3004.49), vitamins (3004.50), and others (3004.90). This high-value division represents the commercial endpoint of pharmaceutical research and development. Major exporters include Germany, Switzerland, and Ireland. Unlike bulk pharmaceuticals (HS 2941/3003), these finished dosage forms require marketing authorizations, Good Manufacturing Practice certifications, and often face price controls or reference pricing mechanisms in destination markets. Products must meet stringent stability, purity, and efficacy standards.
