Product classification
HS code for Egg white powder: 3502.11
Albumins, egg albumin, dried.
Classification of egg white powder under HS 3502.11
Egg white powder is classified under HS code 350211, which specifically covers dried egg albumin. While most edible egg products are found in Chapter 4 of the Harmonized System, egg albumin (egg white) is treated differently once it has been dried or further processed. According to Note 1(g) to Chapter 4, egg albumin that has been dried or otherwise prepared is excluded from that chapter and must be classified under heading 3502. This heading is dedicated to albumins, albuminates, and other albumin derivatives. The classification under 350211 is determined by General Interpretative Rule (GIR) 1, which dictates that classification is governed by the terms of the headings and any relative section or chapter notes. For customs purposes, the distinction between a simple egg product and an albuminoidal substance is critical, as Chapter 35 items often involve different technical specifications, such as protein content requirements where the albumin must exceed 80% by weight calculated on the dry matter to remain in this category.

Codes often confused with 3502.11
Common mistake. Egg white powder is frequently misclassified under HS code 040811, which covers dried birds' eggs not in shell. However, 040811 is intended for whole dried eggs or products containing both the white and yolk. Another common error is using HS code 350219, which is reserved for egg albumin in forms other than dried, such as liquid or frozen egg whites. Importers must ensure the product is specifically dried to utilize 350211.

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).
