Last updated: July 2026 dataBeyond the halogenated subheading, this residual corticosteroid category captures a clinically important range of compounds: hydrocortisone salts and esters (2937299020), prednisolone salts and esters (2937299040), anabolic agents and androgens (2937299050), and a broad basket of other steroidal hormones and analogues (2937299095). Italy and Germany lead US supply, with China a significant third source — a supplier mix that spans both established European API manufacturers and lower-cost Asian producers. Anabolic agents and androgens in this heading are controlled substances under the Controlled Substances Act, requiring DEA import authorization in addition to FDA review.

Yes. Many anabolic steroids and androgens are Schedule III controlled substances under the Controlled Substances Act. Importers must hold a valid DEA importer registration and obtain the appropriate import permit or quota allocation before shipment. FDA admissibility requirements apply concurrently. Consult a licensed customs broker and DEA-registered counsel to confirm the regulatory pathway for specific compounds.
Classification hinges on the specific steroid nucleus: hydrocortisone (cortisol) derivatives go to 2937299020, while prednisolone derivatives — which carry an additional double bond in the A-ring — go to 2937299040. A Certificate of Analysis identifying the INN (International Nonproprietary Name) and chemical structure is the standard supporting document. CBP may request additional technical data if the compound is a novel ester or salt not previously classified.
