Last updated: September 2026 dataStreptomycins are aminoglycoside antibiotics used primarily against gram-negative bacteria and tuberculosis, and imports enter FDA review as drug substances subject to Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) requirements. The US schedule divides the heading into dihydrostreptomycin and its derivatives (2941201000) and all other streptomycin derivatives (2941205000). China is the dominant supplier, with France and the Netherlands also contributing, reflecting the concentration of active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing in Asia and select European facilities. Importers should be aware that Chinese-origin pharmaceutical chemicals may be subject to Section 301 tariffs.
