About HS Code 300212
This HS code specifically targets antisera and other blood fractions, whether human or animal, which are crucial components in diagnostics, research, and therapeutic applications. These products are vital for passive immunization, disease detection, and the production of various biopharmaceuticals. Major importers include pharmaceutical manufacturers, diagnostic kit producers, research institutions, and hospitals, all requiring high-quality, purified blood components. Exporters are typically countries with advanced blood collection and processing facilities, robust healthcare systems, and strong biopharmaceutical industries. The trade is characterized by extremely strict regulatory controls, rigorous testing for pathogens, complex cold chain logistics, and ethical considerations regarding sourcing. The global demand is driven by the need for effective treatments for infectious diseases, autoimmune disorders, and emergency medical interventions.
Products Under This Code
Human albumin solution (bulk), Immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentrate, Fibrinogen concentrate, Anti-D immunoglobulin, Tetanus antitoxin, Diphtheria antitoxin, Snake antivenom
Real World Examples
