Frequently asked questions

I sell bulk medicinal plants and herbal remedies to herbalist shops: is 46.46.20 correct?
Yes, if your activity is the wholesale of herbal remedies or bulk medicinal plants. If you sell actual pharmaceutical products, compare with 46.18.11; if the product is a food or dietary supplement, you may also need to compare with 46.38.00.
I prepare supplements or blends to my own recipe: is the herbal code enough?
Not if manufacturing is your primary activity. 46.46.20 covers wholesale resale; for the production of food supplements see 10.89.01. The classification changes when you are not simply buying finished products.
46.46.20 or 46.46.10 if I distribute herbal remedies alongside supplements and parapharmaceutical products?
It depends on what predominates. 46.46.20 is for herbal remedies and medicinal plants; medicines and pharmaceutical preparations have their own entry 46.46.10. If you mainly handle generic food supplements, the reference shifts towards 46.38.00.
