HS Code for Multivitamin: 2106.90.98

Classification Notes

Multivitamin tablets, capsules, softgels, and gummies put up for retail sale as dietary supplements are classified under 2106.90.98. This covers any mixture of vitamins (A, B-complex, C, D, E, K) with or without added minerals (calcium, iron, zinc, magnesium). The inclusion of minerals or herbal extracts does not change the heading — the product remains a food preparation so long as it is presented as a food supplement. Products making medicinal claims (e.g. 'treats osteoporosis', 'cures deficiency') may be regulated and classified as pharmaceuticals under Chapter 30 (3004.50 for vitamin preparations as medicaments), requiring medicinal product authorisation. Single-vitamin products in bulk chemical form are Chapter 29 (e.g. ascorbic acid under 2936.27). Prenatal multivitamins, kids' multivitamins, and senior formulations all share the same heading. US duty on 2106.90.98 varies by statistical suffix; most general multivitamin imports carry 6.4% MFN.
