HS Code 300442

HS code 300442 is the World Customs Organization 6-digit HS 2022 subheading for "Medicaments (excluding goods of heading 3002, 3005 or 3006) consisting of mixed or unmixed products for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, put up in measured doses (including those in the form of transdermal administration systems) or in forms or packings for retail sale : Other, containing alkaloids or derivatives thereof : Containing pseudoephedrine (INN) or its salts". The first two digits (30) are the chapter — Pharmaceutical products — and digits 3-4 (3004) are the heading. Countries add further digits (8-10) for their national tariff line.

Common products classified under 300442 include pseudoephedrine, Sudafed, decongestant, sinus medication and similar items matching containing pseudoephedrine. The correct code still depends on the product's material, function and intended use.

Duty is set by the destination country, not by the 6-digit HS code alone. Start from the official tariff of your market — USITC HTS (US), TARIC / Access2Markets (EU), GOV.UK Trade Tariff (UK), CBSA (Canada), ABF (Australia) or Singapore Customs — and look up the full national code with China as the country of origin.

The first 6 digits (300442) are the same worldwide under the WCO Harmonized System. Beyond that, each country extends the code (HTS in the US, TARIC in the EU, etc.) and sets its own duty and tax rates.

Treat a supplier-provided code as a clue, not a final classification. It can be incomplete, China-export-specific, or mismatched to your destination's rules. Verify against the official tariff and your product's actual material and use.
