HS code for Dried egg albumin: 3502.11
Albumins, egg albumin, dried.
Classification of dried egg albumin under HS 3502.11
Dried egg albumin is classified under HS code 3502.11. While eggs generally fall under Chapter 4, albumins are considered protein substances and are therefore classified in Chapter 35, which covers albuminoidal substances, modified starches, glues, and enzymes. Heading 3502 specifically covers albumins, including those derived from eggs, milk (whey), or blood. Subheading 3502.11 is restricted to egg albumin that has been dried, typically through spray-drying or pan-drying processes. This classification is critical because it distinguishes the isolated protein from the whole egg or the yolk, which are classified as food products in Chapter 4. The drying process must result in a powder or crystalline form to meet the requirements of this specific subheading.

Codes often confused with 3502.11
Common mistake. Dried egg albumin is often misclassified under 0408.91, which is for dried whole birds' eggs, or 0408.11, which is for dried egg yolks. Because it is an egg product, many importers naturally look to Chapter 4 first. It is also sometimes confused with 3502.19, which is the subheading for liquid or other non-dried forms of egg albumin.

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).
