HS Code 3507.90 – Enzymes and prepared enzymes; other than rennet and concentrates thereof

HS code 3507.90 is the 6-digit subheading for enzymes and prepared enzymes, other than rennet and concentrates thereof. It is used for amylase, protease, lipase, cellulase and pectinase.

What HS 3507.90 covers

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.

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).
