What HS 3502.11 covers
This HS code specifically covers dried egg albumin, a highly versatile protein product derived from egg whites. Egg albumin is valued for its excellent emulsifying, foaming, and gelling properties, making it an essential ingredient in various industries. It is widely used in the food industry for confectionery, bakery products, and processed meats, as well as in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and even in some industrial applications. Importers are typically food manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, and specialty chemical producers who require a high-quality, stable protein source. Exporters are often countries with large poultry industries and advanced food processing capabilities to separate and dry egg whites efficiently. Key aspects of this trade include ensuring product purity, adherence to strict food safety and hygiene standards, managing supply chain logistics for a delicate ingredient, and responding to market demand for protein-rich ingredients.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
