The main ingredients in the capsules are lactose, gelatin, vegetable oils, and polypeptides derived from bovine spleen extract. The products are put up in retail packages containing 15 capsules and 90 tablets.

The applicable subheading for the PCM-4 tablets will be 2106.90.6097, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for food preparations not elsewhere specified or included...other... other...containing sugar derived from sugar cane and/or sugar beets.
