Chapter 35 Albuminoidal substances; modified starches; glues; enzymes
7 headings · 15 six-digit codes · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 35 covers milk, egg and animal proteins, modified starches, glues and enzymes. Use this page to learn what sits in each group and which code fits your product.
Chapter 35 is a compact chapter: 15 six-digit codes across 7 headings, 3501 to 3507. 5 of those headings subdivide below four digits, so the whole chapter fits on one screen. The chapter sits in Section VI, Products of the Chemical or Allied Industries, alongside 10 other chapters.
Headings in this chapter
What does HS code 35 include?
The goods here share one trait. They are made by processing natural materials. Think of proteins taken from milk, eggs and animal hides, starch that has been altered, and enzymes that speed up reactions in food and industry.
The protein goods come first, in headings 3501 to 3504. These cover casein, albumins, gelatin, peptones and hide powder. Heading 3505 moves to starch, covering dextrins and other modified starches. Heading 3506 holds prepared adhesives. Heading 3507 closes the chapter with enzymes, including rennet.
The codes follow the Harmonized System. The first six digits are the same in most countries, and many traders call them HSN codes. Each four-digit heading has its own page that lists every six-digit code under it, so use the links on this page to go deeper.
Two neighbours are worth a look if your goods do not fit. Chapter 34 covers soaps and waxes, and Chapter 38 covers other chemical products.
Which glue code? How to pick the right one
Glues are the most confusing part of this chapter, because four headings can apply. Start by asking what the glue is made from.
A glue made from casein goes to 3501. Another glue of animal origin goes to 3503. That heading excludes casein glues, so the two never overlap. A glue based on starch, dextrin or another modified starch goes to 3505, for example 350520. Any other prepared glue or adhesive goes to 3506.
Inside 3506, pack size and base material matter. Code 350610 is for products put up for retail sale as glue, at no more than 1kg net weight. Code 350691 is for adhesives based on polymers of headings 3901 to 3913 or on rubber.
Two more splits help. A whey protein concentrate fits 3502 only when its whey protein content is above the limit written in the heading text, measured on dry matter. In 3507, rennet and its concentrates have their own code, 350710. Every other enzyme goes to 350790.
Dextrins and other modified starches themselves use 350510. If you are still unsure, try the HS code classifier.

HS Chapter 35: common questions
What is the HS code for gelatin (3503)?
Gelatin sits in heading 3503, which has the single code 350300. Isinglass and gelatin derivatives share it.
What is the HS code for adhesives and glues?
It depends on the base material. Casein, animal, starch and prepared glues sit in 3501, 3503, 3505 and 3506. Pick the one that matches how your glue is made.
What is the HS code for enzymes (3507)?
Enzymes are in heading 3507. Rennet has its own code, and all other enzymes share the second one.
What is the HS code for modified starch and dextrin?
Look in heading 3505. The starches themselves and the starch-based glues have separate codes.
Where can I find the full list of codes for casein or albumins?
Open the page for heading 3501 or 3502. Each heading page lists its own six-digit codes in full.
