HS Code 3501Casein, caseinates and other casein derivatives; casein glues

What HS code 3501 covers

Heading 3501 is the tariff code for casein and the products made from it. Casein is a milk protein. The heading also takes in caseinates, which are salts of casein, and other casein derivatives. Glues made from casein belong here too.

You may see the same heading called HSN code 3501 in India or HTS 3501 in the United States. The first four digits match across countries. Each country then adds its own digits after the six-digit level for its national tariff.

Customs classification starts with what the goods are. Plain milk protein goes one way. A salt, a derivative or a glue goes another. The next section shows where the split falls.

350110 vs 350190: which code to use

Two subheadings sit under 3501. You choose between them by the form of the product.

If your goods are plain casein, use 350110. If the casein was turned into a salt or another derivative, or if it is sold as a glue, use 350190. A broker or the HS code classifier can help when you are unsure what your product is.

• 350110: Casein. Use it for casein itself.
• Use it for everything else in the heading, including casein glue.

Casein glues vs other glues and proteins in Chapter 35

Casein glues stay in 3501. Do not move them to another glue heading just because the product is sold as an adhesive.

Heading 3503 covers gelatin and other glues of animal origin. Glues based on starch or modified starch go to 3505. Prepared glues and adhesives put up for small retail sale go to 3506.

So ask two questions. What is the glue made from? How is it sold? If the base is casein, the answer is 350190.
