U.S. imports of hormones, prostaglandins, and derivatives (other) (HS 293790) totaled $32.2M in April 2026, traded with 17 countries.
Hormones, Prostaglandins, and Derivatives (Other) imports of $32.2M in April 2026 ran 33% above the year-to-date monthly average of $24.3M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataAmino-acid-derived hormones and catecholamines — including epinephrine (2937900500), epinephrine hydrochloride (2937901000), and levothyroxine sodium (2937904000) — anchor this residual hormone heading alongside a broad basket of other hormones and analogues. Levothyroxine sodium, one of the most widely prescribed drugs in the US, and epinephrine, a critical emergency medicine API, make this heading commercially significant well beyond its size. France leads US supply, followed by China and Italy, a mix that reflects both European specialty-pharma manufacturing and Chinese API production. All entries are subject to FDA admissibility review; epinephrine and related catecholamines may also require DEA notification depending on the specific compound.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The schedule separates plain epinephrine (2937900500) from its hydrochloride salt (2937901000), and then distinguishes other catecholamine hormones excluding epinephrine (2937901500) from catecholamine derivatives and analogues not otherwise specified (2937902000). The correct line depends on the specific compound and its salt form as identified in the Certificate of Analysis. Importers should not default to the NESOI line without first confirming the compound does not match a named line.
Yes. Because levothyroxine sodium is a narrow-therapeutic-index drug, FDA applies heightened scrutiny to bioequivalence and potency consistency. Bulk API shipments must originate from an FDA-registered facility with a current Drug Master File, and any change in manufacturing site or process requires prior FDA notification. Importers should also monitor for any active import alerts on the supplying facility. Consult a licensed customs broker or regulatory counsel for current admissibility status.
