HS Code for Organ extracts

Organ extracts for organo-therapeutic uses are classified under HS code 3001.20. Chapter 30 covers pharmaceutical products. Heading 3001 includes glands and other organs for organo-therapeutic uses, dried, whether or not powdered, as well as extracts of glands or other organs or of their secretions. Subheading 3001.20 specifically covers the extracts. These substances are typically used in the manufacture of pharmaceutical preparations or as therapeutic agents themselves. The classification depends on the intended use (therapeutic) and the nature of the substance (an extract of an animal organ or secretion). If the substance is a pure chemical or a hormone isolated from the extract, it may be classified elsewhere, but the crude or partially purified extract remains here. This code is essential for the medical and pharmaceutical industries that rely on animal-derived biological materials for treatments and research.

Common Misclassification

Organ extracts are frequently confused with HS code 3002, which covers human blood, animal blood prepared for therapeutic uses, antisera, and vaccines. Another common misclassification is 3507, which is for enzymes and prepared enzymes. If the extract is primarily valued for its enzymatic activity, it may fall under 3507. Additionally, crude animal products not intended for therapeutic use are classified in Chapter 05, specifically 0510.00 for bile or 0511.99 for other animal products.
