Chapter 30 classification notes

Retail-packaged pharmaceuticals classify under 3004. The chapter is the primary home of controlled medicines (amphetamines, benzodiazepines, opioids) when in final dosage form. Import licences, pharmacy-only restrictions, and prescription requirements apply on top of ordinary customs rules.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Dietary supplements without therapeutic claims: Chapter 21 (2106.90). Cosmetic creams with added pharmaceutical actives: Chapter 33 unless the primary purpose is therapeutic. Medical devices vs pharmaceuticals: Chapter 90 for instruments, Chapter 30 for consumables.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
