U.S. imports of vitamins, natural or synthetic, in dosage form for retail sale (HS 300450) totaled $25.4M in April 2026, traded with 23 countries.
Last updated: April 2026 dataFinished-dose vitamin preparations — whether single vitamins, multivitamin combinations, or vitamins combined with minerals — are classified across ten US tariff lines that distinguish by vitamin type and formulation. Specific lines cover Vitamin B2 (3004501000), Vitamin B12 (3004502000), and Vitamin E (3004503000), while the remaining lines address aromatic-synthesis vitamins, medicament-grade vitamin preparations of heading 2936, and various single/multi-vitamin combinations with or without minerals. FDA regulates these products either as dietary supplements under DSHEA or as drug products depending on labeling claims, and the regulatory pathway determines admissibility requirements. Products making disease-treatment claims on labeling are treated as drugs and require full FDA drug approval, while supplement-labeled products must comply with dietary supplement current Good Manufacturing Practices.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
The HTS classification itself does not change based on FDA regulatory status, but admissibility does. Products labeled with disease-treatment claims are regulated as drugs and require FDA drug approval and foreign establishment registration. Products labeled as dietary supplements must comply with DSHEA and cGMP requirements. Importers should ensure labeling is reviewed before shipment to avoid detention. Consult a licensed customs broker or regulatory counsel familiar with FDA pharmaceutical and supplement requirements.
Line 3004504500 specifically covers preparations that are classified as medicaments under HTS heading 2936 (provitamins and vitamins) but are put up in dosage form. The distinction matters because the underlying chemical classification of the vitamin substance — whether it is a provitamin, a natural vitamin, or a synthetic aromatic-derived vitamin — determines which 10-digit line applies, and misclassification between these lines can affect duty liability.
