This heading
covers medicament consisting of mixed or unmixed products, provided they
are
(a) Put up in
measured doses or in forms such as tablets, ampules (for example, re-distilled
water, in ampules of 1.25 to 10 cm;, for use either for the direct treatment of
certain diseases, e.g., alcoholism, diabetic coma or as a solvent for
theoretician of inflection medicinal solutions). capsules. cachets, drops or
pastilles, medicaments in the form of transdermal administration systems, or
small quantities of powder, ready for taking as single doses for therapeutic or
prophylactic use. The heading also includes measured doses in the form of
transdermal administration systems which arc generally put up in the form of
self-adhesive patches (usually rectangular or round) and which arc applied
directly to the skin of patients. The active substance is contained in a
reservoir which is closed by a porous membrane on the side entering into
contact with the skin. The active substance released from the reservoir is
absorbed by passive molecular diffusion through the skin and passes directly
into the bloodstream. These systems should not be confused with medical
adhesive plasters of heading 30.05. The heading applies to such single doses
whether in bulk, in packing for retail sale, etc:: or
2
(b) In packings
for retail sale for therapeutic or prophylactic use. This refers to products
(for example, sodium bicarbonate and tamarind powder) which, because of their
packing and, in particular, the presence of appropriate indications (statement
of disease or condition for which they are to be used, method of use or
application, statement of dose. ctc.) are clearly intended for sale directly to
users (private persons, hospitals. etc.) without repacking, for the above
purposes. These indications (in any language) may be given by label, literature
or otherwise. However, the mere indication of pharmaceutical or other degree of
purity is not alone sufficient to justify classification in this heading. On
the other hand, even if no indications are given, unmixed products are to be
regarded as being put up for retail sale for therapeutic or prophylactic use if
they are put up in a form clearly specialised for such use. Medicaments
consisting of mixed products for therapeutic or prophylactic uses and not put
up in measured doses or in forms or packings for retail sale arc classified in
heading 30.03 (sec the corresponding Explanatory Note).
Under the terms
of Chapter Note 3, the following are also regarded as unmixed products : (1)
Unmixed products dissolved in water. (2) All goods of Chapter 28 or 29. Such
products include colloidal sulphur and stabilised solutions of hydrogen
peroxide. (3) Single vegetable extracts of heading 13.02, merely standardised
or dissolved in any solvent (see the Explanatory Note to heading 13.02). It
should be noted, however, that unmixed products of headings 28.43 to 28.46 and
2852 are always excluded from heading 30.04, even if they satisfy the
requirements of paragraph (a) or (b) above. For example, colloidal silver
remains classified in heading 28.43 even if put up in measured doses or packed
and presented as a medicament.
This heading
includes pastilles, tablets, drops, etc., of a kind suitable only for medicinal
purposes, such as those based on sulphur, charcoal, sodium tetraborate, sodium
benzoate, potassium chlorate or magnesia. However, preparations put up as
throatpastilles or couch drops, consisting essentially of sugars (whether or
not with other foodstuffs such as gelatin, starch or Pour) and flavouring
agents (including substances having medicinal properties, such as benzyl
alcohol, menthol, eucal),ptol and tolu balsam) fall in heading 17.04. Throat
pastilles or cough drops containing substances having medicinal properties,
other than flavouring agents, remain classified in this heading when put up in
measured doses or in forms or packings for retail sale, provided that the
proportion of those substances in each pastille or drop is such that they are
thereby given therapeutic or prophylactic uses.

The heading
also covers the following products, provided they are put up as prescribed
in paragraph (a) or (h) above :
(1) Organic
surface-active products and preparations, with active cation (e.g., quaternary,
ammonium salts), having antiseptic, disinfectant, bactericidal or germicidal properties.
(2) Poly (vinyl
pyrrolidone)-iodine, being a reaction product of iodine and poly (vinyl
pyrrplidone).
(3) Bone graft
substitutes, such as those made from surgical grade calcium sulfate, which arc
injected Into a cavity of the fractured bone and spontaneously resorbed and
replaced by bone tissue: these products provide a crystalline matrix on which
new bone can grow as the matrix is resorbed.
However, the
heading excludes bone reconstruction cements, usually containing a hardener
(curing agent) and an activator and used, c.c., for attaching prosthetic
implants to existing bone (heading 30.06).
The provisions
of the heading text do not apply to foodstuffs or beverages such as dietetic,
diabetic or fortified foods, tonic beverages or mineral %vatcrs (natural or
artificial), which fall to be classified under their own appropriate headings.
This is essentially the case as regards food preparations containing only
nutritional substances. The major nutritional substances in food arc proteins,
carbohydrates and fats. Vitam'ns and mineral salts also play a part in
nutrition.
Similarly
foodstuffs and beverages containing medicinal substances are excluded from the
heading if those substances arc added solely to ensure a better dietetic
balance, to increase the energy-giving or nutritional value of the product or
to improve its flavour, always pmvided that the product retains its character of
a foodstuff or a beverage.
Moreover,
products consisting of a mixture of plants or parts of plants or consisting of
plants or parts of plants mixed with other substances. used for making herbal
infusions or herbal "teas" (e.g., those having laxative, purgative,
diuretic or carminative properties), and claimed to offer relief from ailments
or contribute to general health and Nye' I-being, are.also excluded from this
heading (!leading 21.06).
Further, this
heading excludes food supplements containing vitamins or mineral salts which
arc put up for the purpose of maintaining health or well-being but have no
indication as to use for the prevention or treatment of any disease or ailment.
These products which arc usually in liquid form but may also be put up in
powder or tablet form, are generally classified in heading 21.06 or Chapter 22.
On the other
hand, the heading covers preparations in which the foodstuff or the beverage
merely serves as a support, vehicle or sweetening agent for the medicinal
substances (e.g., in order to facilitate ingestion).
The heading
also excludes :
(a) Snake or
bee venom, not put up as medicaments (heading 30.01).
(b) Goods of
heading 30.02, 30.05 or 30.06, however they arc put up.
(c) Aqueous
distillates or aqueous solutions of essential oils and preparations of headings
33.03 to 33.07, even if they have therapeutic or prophylactic properties (Chapter
33).
(d) Medicated

(e)
Insecticides, disinfectants, etc., of heading 38.03, not put up for internal or
external use as medicines.

prevention of human or animal ailments. These preparations arc obtained by
mixing together two or more substances. However, if put up in measured doses or
in forms or packings for retail sale, they fall in heading 30.04. The heading
includes :
(1) Mixed
medicinal preparations such as those listed in an official pharmacopoeia,
proprietary medicines, etc., including those in the form of gargles, eye drops,
ointments, liniments, injections, counter-irritant and other preparations not
falling in heading 30.02, 30.05 or 30.06.
However, this
should not be taken to mean that preparations listed in an official
pharmacopoeia. proprietary medicines, etc. are always classified in heading
30.03. For example, anti-acne preparations which are designed primarily to
cleanse the skin and which do not contain sufficiently high levels of active
ingredients to be regarded as having a primary therapeutic orprophylactic
effect against acne arc to be classified in heading 33.04.
(2)
