About HS Code 293722

This HS code is dedicated to halogenated derivatives of corticosteroidal hormones, a specialized class of steroids known for their enhanced potency as anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive agents. These compounds often feature fluorine or chlorine atoms in their structure, which modifies their pharmacological properties, making them highly effective in treating severe inflammatory conditions, skin disorders, and respiratory diseases. International trade involves pharmaceutical companies, specialty chemical manufacturers, and API suppliers. Exporters typically provide these high-purity active ingredients to pharmaceutical formulators globally. Key considerations include strict quality control, compliance with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), and navigating the regulatory landscape for potent pharmaceutical substances. Their targeted efficacy makes them valuable in specific therapeutic areas.

Products Under This Code

Dexamethasone, Betamethasone, Fluticasone propionate, Clobetasol propionate, Mometasone furoate, Triamcinolone acetonide, Budesonide

Real World Examples

Decadron (Merck), Celestone (Merck), Flovent (GSK), Clobex (Galderma), Nasonex (Merck)

Common Misclassification

This code is specifically for halogenated corticosteroids; non-halogenated corticosteroids like hydrocortisone fall under 293721, and other steroidal hormones under 293729.
