Last updated: April 2026 dataAntibiotic medicaments not containing penicillins or streptomycins — such as those based on tetracyclines, macrolides, cephalosporins, or other antibiotic classes — fall here when imported in bulk, non-retail form. The 'NES' (not elsewhere specified) designation makes correct classification critical: importers must confirm the specific antibiotic active ingredient to avoid misclassification against the penicillin/streptomycin heading. FDA admissibility requirements apply, including foreign establishment registration and compliance with current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) standards. These bulk APIs are widely traded as inputs for generic drug manufacturing.

Classification depends on the specific antibiotic active ingredient. If the medicament contains penicillins, streptomycins, or their chemical derivatives, it belongs in the penicillin/streptomycin heading. All other antibiotic classes — tetracyclines, macrolides, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides other than streptomycin, etc. — fall under the NES heading. A licensed customs broker or trade attorney can assist with confirming the correct classification based on the product's technical documentation.
Certain bulk pharmaceutical ingredients sourced from specific countries may be subject to Section 301 tariffs or antidumping/countervailing duty orders depending on origin and product specifics. Importers should verify current trade-remedy orders with CBP and consult a licensed customs broker before entry.
