Dental products Hs Code

Dental products harmonized system code

Product Overview Dental products classified under HS Code 300640 encompass dental cements, dental impression materials, and other dental filling or restorative preparations utilized in clinical dentistry. These products typically present as pastes, powders, or liquids engineered for high precision application in restorative, prosthodontic, and orthodontic treatments. Key physical characteristics include biocompatibility, dimensional stability, and controlled setting times, with formulations often containing calcium phosphate, zinc oxide-eugenol, or resin-based composites. The HS Code 300640 is subdivided into specific product types such as dental impression compounds, dental cements, and other preparatory materials designed to restore tooth integrity or support dental appliances. Commercially, these products are essential in dental laboratories, clinics, and hospitals, enabling procedures ranging from cavity filling to crown cementation and impression taking. Their value proposition lies in ensuring durability, patient safety, and compatibility with dental tissues, making them critical consumables in oral healthcare delivery. The competitive advantage of these products is derived from their adherence to stringent quality parameters and regulatory compliance, facilitating their acceptance across international markets. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications HS Code 300640 is situated within Chapter 30, which covers “Pharmaceutical products,” specifically under Heading 3006 for “Pharmaceutical goods specified in Note 4 to this chapter,” and further refined to Subheading 300640, designated for “Dental cements and other dental fillings; dental impression or orthodontic materials.” This classification is based on the chemical composition, intended clinical application, and standardized nomenclature consistent with the Harmonized System Convention. Trade professionals must note that packaging generally involves hermetically sealed containers or sterile blister packs to maintain product integrity and prevent contamination. Preservation methods often require controlled temperature environments, typically 15°C to 25°C, with protection from moisture and UV exposure during transit. Shipping protocols conform to international regulatory frameworks such as the WHO Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and ISO 13485 standards for medical devices. Quality assurance includes compliance with pharmacopeial standards (e.g., USP, EP) and certification for biocompatibility (ISO 10993). Accurate HS classification facilitates tariff determination, customs clearance, and adherence to WTO trade agreements, ensuring seamless cross-border transactions and regulatory compliance.
