What HTS 3002.15.00.11 Covers
This statistical line covers immunological products that contain monoclonal antibodies. It sits under heading 3002, which covers blood, antisera, vaccines, and immunological products, in subheading 3002.15 for immunological products that are not put up in measured doses or retail packings within the relevant grouping. It applies to monoclonal antibody preparations used for diagnostic, therapeutic, or research purposes.
Notes for Importers
The key distinction within 3002.15 is between products that contain monoclonal antibodies (this line) and other immunological products. Finished monoclonal antibody medicaments put up in measured doses or for retail sale may be classified under different provisions, so packaging and presentation matter. These biologicals also carry FDA and other regulatory requirements separate from classification.
