Microvit E 50 GS will be imported as a water soluble powder of gelatin/lactose coated Vitamin E. Microvit E 50 ADS (aka Microvit 227) consists of 227,000 I.U. of Vitamin E acetate per pound. Microvit E 50 ADS will be imported in a dry powdered form. Microvit E 50 GS and Microvit E 50 ADS are used in feed manufacturing.

The applicable subheading for the Microvit E 50 GS and Microvit E 50 ADS will be 3003.90.0000, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for medicaments consisting of two or more constituents which have been mixed together for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, not put up in measured doses or in forms or packings for retail sale.
