When imported as a drug substance or pharmaceutical ingredient, FDA oversight applies, including registration of foreign drug establishments and compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) standards.

AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
When aspirin is imported as a pharmaceutical active ingredient (API), the foreign manufacturing facility must be registered with the FDA and comply with cGMP requirements. The FDA may examine shipments at the port of entry; working with a licensed customs broker and regulatory counsel familiar with drug imports is strongly advised.
Tariff line 2918220000 covers the bulk chemical — the acid, its salts, and esters — in unformulated form. Finished pharmaceutical dosage forms (tablets, capsules) containing aspirin classify under Chapter 30 as medicaments, not under Chapter 29. The form and degree of processing at time of importation determine the correct heading.
