Last updated: August 2026 dataBulk medicaments containing hormones, hormone derivatives, and steroids used as hormones — excluding insulin — are classified here when not in dosage form or retail packaging. This heading captures a wide range of endocrine APIs, including sex hormones, corticosteroids, thyroid hormones, and growth hormones used as pharmaceutical intermediates. FDA oversight applies at entry, and the steroid-based compounds in this category may also intersect with DEA scheduling requirements for certain anabolic steroids. Correct classification requires confirming both the hormone type and the absence of retail or dosage-form presentation, as the parallel dosage-form headings carry distinct treatment.

Yes — anabolic steroids are Schedule III controlled substances under the Controlled Substances Act, so importing bulk anabolic steroid APIs requires DEA import authorization in addition to FDA admissibility review. Importers must obtain the appropriate DEA import permit before shipment; failure to do so can result in seizure and criminal liability.
The phrase 'used as hormones' refers to steroids whose primary pharmacological function is hormonal — such as corticosteroids, progestins, androgens, and estrogens — rather than steroids used for other purposes (e.g., as anti-inflammatory agents classified elsewhere). The intended therapeutic use and pharmacological mechanism are key factors; a licensed customs broker with pharmaceutical expertise can assist in confirming the correct heading.
