Last updated: April 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.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Streptomycin and its derivatives imported as active pharmaceutical ingredients must comply with FDA cGMP regulations, and the foreign manufacturing facility must be registered with FDA. Shipments may be subject to FDA examination or detention if the facility has outstanding compliance issues.
The heading splits into two 10-digit lines: 2941201000 covers dihydrostreptomycin and its derivatives and their salts, while 2941205000 captures all other streptomycin derivatives and salts not elsewhere specified. Correct classification between these lines depends on the specific chemical structure of the imported compound.
