First aid - kit & box Hs Code

First aid - kit & box harmonized system code

Product Overview The First Aid - Kit & Box classified under HS Code 300650 refers to pre-assembled containers comprising medical supplies and equipment intended for immediate emergency medical intervention. These kits typically include items such as sterile gauze, adhesive plasters, antiseptic wipes, bandages, scissors, tweezers, and basic medications, housed within a durable, portable box designed for ease of access and transport. The physical specifications of these kits vary, with standard dimensions ranging from compact handheld boxes (approximately 20 cm x 15 cm x 8 cm) to larger multi-compartment cases, constructed from materials such as high-impact plastic or metal alloys to ensure durability and compliance with hygiene standards. Processing levels include sterilization of individual components and quality assurance testing to meet health and safety regulations. Subcategories within HS Code 300650 encompass specialized first aid kits tailored for industrial, automotive, or marine applications, differentiating by content configuration and packaging. Commercially, these kits are essential across food service, retail, manufacturing, and processing industries to facilitate workplace safety and regulatory compliance. The value proposition lies in their standardized content, certified quality, and adaptability to diverse operational environments, enhancing occupational health preparedness and risk mitigation. HS Code Classification & Trade Specifications The HS Code 300650 is structured as follows: Chapter 30 - Pharmaceutical products; Heading 30.06 - Pharmaceutical goods specified in note 4 to this chapter; Subheading 3006.50 - First aid kits and other medical, surgical, dental, or veterinary furniture. This classification is justified by the product’s composition of medical consumables and its function as an emergency treatment tool, aligning with WTO Harmonized System nomenclature. Trade considerations emphasize packaging integrity to prevent contamination and ensure sterility, commonly utilizing sealed, tamper-evident containers with humidity and temperature control features for preservation during transit. Shipping requirements adhere to IATA and IMO regulations when applicable, especially for kits containing pharmaceutical substances. Quality standards conform to ISO 13485 for medical devices and comply with customs documentation protocols including accurate declaration of contents, batch traceability, and compliance with the International Medical Device Regulators Forum (IMDRF) guidelines. This precise classification supports streamlined customs clearance, reduces risk of misclassification penalties, and facilitates international trade compliance for importers, exporters, and regulatory authorities.
