Albumins, egg albumin, not dried.
Classification of liquid egg albumin under HS 3502.19
Liquid egg albumin is classified under HS code 3502.19. While most egg products are found in Chapter 04, egg albumin (the white of the egg) is specifically directed to Chapter 35 by the legal notes of the Harmonized System. Chapter 35 covers albuminoidal substances, modified starches, glues, and enzymes. Heading 3502 is dedicated to albumins, albuminates, and other albumin derivatives. Within this heading, egg albumin is further categorized by its physical state. Subheading 3502.11 is used for dried egg albumin (powdered), while 3502.19 is the residual category for "other" egg albumin, which includes the liquid, chilled, and frozen forms. This classification applies to the albumin that has been separated from the yolk. The separation process changes the product from a primary agricultural commodity (Chapter 04) to a protein isolate (Chapter 35). This distinction is critical for customs purposes, as Chapter 35 products often face different regulatory requirements and duty rates than Chapter 04 dairy and egg products.

Codes often confused with 3502.19
Common mistake. Liquid egg albumin is most commonly misclassified under 0408.99, which covers birds' eggs not in shell (other than yolks). However, 0408 is intended for whole eggs or mixtures of whites and yolks. Once the albumin is isolated, it must move to 3502. Another common error is using 3502.11, which is strictly for the dried or powdered form of egg white. Importers also occasionally confuse this with 3504.00, which covers other proteins and their derivatives, but 3502 is the more specific heading for albumins. Finally, if the product contains the yolk, it must be classified in heading 0408.

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).
