Last updated: April 2026 dataRutin is a flavonoid glycoside — quercetin-3-rutinoside — extracted primarily from buckwheat, sophora japonica buds, and other plant sources, and it trades as both a pharmaceutical intermediate and a nutraceutical ingredient used for capillary-fragility indications. China dominates US supply by a wide margin, with Spain and Brazil as secondary sources, reflecting the geographic concentration of buckwheat and sophora cultivation and extraction capacity. Imports intended for pharmaceutical use require FDA admissibility review, while nutraceutical-grade material may enter under dietary supplement regulations with different documentation requirements — making the intended end-use a critical factor in entry planning.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Pharmaceutical-grade rutin entering as an API must come from an FDA-registered facility and be supported by a Drug Master File or equivalent documentation. Nutraceutical or dietary-supplement-grade rutin is regulated under DSHEA and does not require the same pre-market approval, but the importer of record bears responsibility for ensuring the product meets identity, purity, and labeling standards. Misclassifying pharmaceutical-grade material as a supplement — or vice versa — can result in FDA detention. Consult a licensed customs broker or regulatory counsel for admissibility guidance.
Both natural (plant-extracted) and synthetic rutin and its derivatives classify under heading 2938 as glycosides, with the specific 10-digit line (2938100000) covering the full scope. The extraction or synthesis route does not change the classification, but it may affect FDA regulatory pathway and quality specifications. Importers should confirm the source and processing method in supplier documentation to support both classification and admissibility review.
