Chapter 35 covers albuminoidal substances; modified starches; glues; enzymes: protein-based and starch-derived industrial materials used in adhesives, food processing, textiles and paper manufacturing. Classification tip: Enzymes used in food processing versus industrial enzymes (for detergents or textiles) are classified the same way here regardless of end use: the chemical nature of the product, not its application, drives the code.

The wording above is the Harmonized System nomenclature as published by the World Customs Organization, HS 2022 edition. It is a classification reference, not a tariff: it carries no duty rates, and it stops at six digits — the importing country adds its own beyond that.

Classification is decided by the General Rules of Interpretation and the section and chapter notes, and it is the importing country’s customs authority that makes it binding.

35.04 FAQ

Heading 35.04 covers peptones and their derivatives; other protein substances and their derivatives n.e.c. or included; hide powder, whether or not chromed. It is part of chapter 35 (albuminoidal substances; modified starches; glues; enzymes), and it is subdivided into 1 six-digit subheadings — the level you actually declare.

Pick one of the 1 subheadings below. Those six digits are what customs recognises internationally; the importing country may extend them to eight or ten in its own tariff schedule.

The General Rules of Interpretation, read together with the notes to Section VI and to chapter 35. A description that reads right is not enough on its own — the notes routinely pull goods out of the chapter they obviously belong to and put them somewhere else. Where duty or licensing turns on the answer, ask the importing country’s customs authority for a binding ruling.

A wrong or missing code is one of the common reasons customs holds a container, and a hold shows up as a milestone that stops moving. Watch for it in the container tracking app, on the air waybill in the air cargo tracker, or through the tracking API.
