Last updated: April 2026 dataPseudoephedrine-containing finished-dose medicaments — widely recognized in trade as decongestant products — are classified under a single US tariff line, 3004420000, covering both mixed and unmixed formulations. Like ephedrine, pseudoephedrine is a DEA-regulated listed chemical, so importers must secure DEA import authorization and comply with quota allocations in addition to meeting FDA drug establishment and labeling requirements. The retail-sale packaging requirement is a key classification criterion: bulk pseudoephedrine API moves under a different chapter entirely. Importers should be aware that domestic retail sale of pseudoephedrine products is further regulated under the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act, which affects downstream distribution planning.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Heading 300442 applies only to finished-dose forms put up in measured doses or packaged for retail sale. Bulk pseudoephedrine active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) is classified in Chapter 29 as an organic chemical, not in Chapter 30, and carries different regulatory and tariff treatment.
Importers must present FDA drug establishment registration for the foreign manufacturer, a DEA import permit or quota authorization, and standard entry documentation. FDA may detain shipments for examination if the establishment is not on the approved list or if labeling is non-compliant. Consult a licensed customs broker familiar with pharmaceutical imports to ensure all DEA and FDA requirements are met prior to shipment.
