About HS Code 350400
This HS code covers peptones and their derivatives, along with other protein substances and their derivatives not elsewhere specified or included, and hide powder. Peptones, which are partially hydrolyzed proteins, are crucial components in microbiological culture media, pharmaceutical formulations, and as nutrient sources in biotechnology. This category also serves as a 'basket' for a wide array of other protein isolates and hydrolysates derived from various plant, animal, or microbial sources that do not fit into more specific albumin or casein categories. Importers are typically pharmaceutical companies, biotechnology firms, food ingredient manufacturers, and research laboratories seeking specialized protein components. Exporters are often countries with advanced biochemical processing capabilities. Key factors in trade include purity, specific amino acid profiles, solubility, and compliance with relevant industry standards for food, pharmaceutical, or laboratory applications.
Products Under This Code
Soy peptone, casein peptone, meat peptone, yeast extract, collagen peptides, pea protein isolate, rice protein concentrate, hide powder, protein hydrolysates
Real World Examples
BD Bacto Peptone, Kerry Bio-Science protein hydrolysates, Gelita collagen peptides, Ingredion pea protein, DSM yeast extracts
Common Misclassification
This is a broad 'basket' code for proteins, often confused with specific albumins (3502xx) or casein (350190) if the product is not clearly defined as a peptone or a general 'other' protein substance. The 'n.e.c.' (not elsewhere specified) is a critical differentiator.
Products Classified Under 3504.00
Industry
This code belongs to the Chemicals industry.
Trade Overview
The USA, China, and Germany are major players in both importing and exporting these diverse protein substances.

How is HS code 350400 structured?
HS code 350400 is a 6-digit subheading under the Harmonized System. The first 2 digits (35) identify the chapter, digits 3-4 (04) identify the heading, and digits 5-6 (00) specify the subheading. This code is standardized globally by the World Customs Organization.
