About HS Code 350190

This HS code covers caseinates and other casein derivatives, as well as casein glues. Casein, a primary protein found in milk, is processed into various forms to leverage its unique functional properties, such as emulsification, binding, and nutritional value. Caseinates, for instance, are widely used in the food industry as protein supplements, emulsifiers, and stabilizers. Casein glues, historically significant, still find applications in specialized woodworking and paper industries due to their strong adhesive properties. Importers include food and beverage manufacturers, adhesive producers, and companies in the paper and textile industries. Exporters are typically dairy processing companies or specialized chemical manufacturers that derive these products from milk. The trade is influenced by global dairy production, protein demand, and the specific industrial applications. Quality control focuses on protein content, solubility, viscosity, and microbial purity.

Products Under This Code

Sodium caseinate, Calcium caseinate, Potassium caseinate, Edible caseinates, Industrial casein glue, Casein hydrolysate, Rennet casein derivatives

Real World Examples

Arla Foods Ingredients Caseinates, Fonterra Caseinates, FrieslandCampina Caseinates, Kerry Group Caseinates, DMV Caseinates

Common Misclassification

This code can be confused with raw casein (350110) if the product is not a derivative or glue. It might also be confused with other protein isolates (e.g., 350400 for peptones and other protein substances) if the casein origin is not clear.

Products Classified Under 3501.90

Industry

This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.

Trade Overview

Major importers are food and industrial manufacturers in the USA, China, and Europe, with top exporters being dairy-rich nations like New Zealand, Ireland, and France.
