About HS Code 350790

This broad HS code encompasses all other enzymes and prepared enzymes, excluding rennet. These industrial enzymes are vital biological catalysts used across a vast array of sectors, including food and beverage processing (e.g., baking, brewing), textiles, detergents, pharmaceuticals, biofuels, and animal feed. The international trade in these enzymes is characterized by high demand from manufacturing industries globally, with biotech companies leading the innovation and supply. Importers range from large industrial conglomerates to specialized manufacturers, seeking to improve process efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and enhance product quality. Key trends include the development of more stable and efficient enzymes, sustainable production methods, and enzymes tailored for specific industrial applications, reflecting a growing bio-economy.
