HS v2017 Code: 35

About albuminoidal substances; modified starches; glues; enzymes

HS code 35 covers a diverse range of products that are essential in various industries, from food processing to adhesives and pharmaceuticals. These albuminoidal substances, modified starches, glues, and enzymes play a crucial role in the global economy, enabling the production of a wide array of consumer and industrial goods. This industry's importance lies in its ability to provide key ingredients and processing aids that enhance the functionality, quality, and performance of a multitude of end-products.

Production process

The production of goods under HS code 35 involves a range of techniques, depending on the specific product. Albuminoidal substances, such as casein and gelatin, are typically extracted from animal sources through processes like precipitation, filtration, and drying. Modified starches are produced by chemically or physically altering the structure of natural starches to impart desired properties, such as increased viscosity or stability. Glues and adhesives are often manufactured by blending and processing various polymers, resins, and other binding agents. Enzymes, on the other hand, are typically produced through fermentation processes using microorganisms or through extraction and purification from natural sources.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 35 include raw materials such as animal proteins, starches, and various chemical compounds. Additionally, specialized equipment and machinery, such as centrifuges, evaporators, and fermentation tanks, are necessary for the various production processes. Energy sources, water, and skilled labor also play a crucial role in the manufacturing of these products.

Production outputs

The outputs of the industry covered by HS code 35 are diverse and find applications in a wide range of sectors. Albuminoidal substances, such as 3501 Casein, 3502 Albumins, and 3503 Gelatin, are used in food processing, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. Modified starches are utilized in the production of 1108 Starches; inulin, 1901 Malt extract; food preparations of flour, groats, meal, starch or malt extract, and 3505 Dextrins and other modified starches. Glues and adhesives, such as 3506 Prepared glues and other prepared adhesives, are essential in the manufacturing of various products, including furniture, packaging, and construction materials. Enzymes, on the other hand, find applications in industries ranging from food processing to detergent production.
