Last updated: August 2026 dataFinished-dose corticosteroid preparations — including dedicated lines for dexamethasone (3004320010) and methylprednisolone (3004320040) alongside a broader catch-all (3004320060) — reflect the clinical breadth of this drug class, which spans anti-inflammatory, immunosuppressive, and critical-care applications. France leads US supply under this heading, with India, Ireland, Canada, and the United Kingdom also significant sources. Dexamethasone's prominence as a COVID-19 treatment elevated supply-chain scrutiny for this specific molecule, and importers should be aware that manufacturing quality issues at foreign facilities have historically triggered FDA import alerts for corticosteroid injectables. All entries require FDA approval of the specific product and facility.

The US schedule assigns dexamethasone and methylprednisolone their own 10-digit lines because of their commercial volume and regulatory monitoring interest. A product containing dexamethasone as its active corticosteroid should be classified under 3004320010 rather than the residual line. Products containing other corticosteroids (e.g., prednisone, hydrocortisone, betamethasone) that are not specifically named fall under 3004320060. Importers should confirm the active ingredient identity on the certificate of analysis.
Yes. Injectable corticosteroid products, particularly those manufactured at facilities with prior FDA warning letters or import alerts, are subject to enhanced examination. FDA has historically placed sterile injectable manufacturers on import alert for cGMP deficiencies. Importers should review the FDA import alert database for their specific foreign manufacturer before committing to a supply arrangement.
