What HTS 3002.15.00 Covers
This subheading covers immunological products that are put up in measured doses or in forms or packings for retail sale. It falls under heading 3002, which covers human and animal blood products, antisera, vaccines, cultures, and similar biological products. Examples include finished immunological preparations packaged for dosing or dispensing rather than in bulk.
Notes for Importers
The distinguishing feature is packaging: immunological products in bulk or not put up in measured doses are classified under the adjacent 3002.13 or 3002.14 lines instead. Do not confuse these with vaccines, which have their own dedicated subheadings within heading 3002. FDA and other biologics import requirements apply separately from HTS classification.
Product Category
