HS v2022 Code: 3504

About peptones and their derivatives; other protein substances and their derivatives n.e.c. or included; hide powder, whether or not chromed

HS code 3504 covers a diverse range of protein-based products that have a wide array of applications across various industries. These substances, which include peptones, protein derivatives, and hide powder, play a crucial role in areas such as pharmaceuticals, food processing, and leather manufacturing. As an important component of the broader chemical and biochemical sectors, this industry contributes significantly to the global economy and supports the development of numerous downstream products.

Production process

The production of the goods classified under HS code 3504 typically involves a series of chemical and biological processes. Peptones, for instance, are often derived from the enzymatic hydrolysis of proteins obtained from animal sources, such as meat, milk, or plant-based materials. Other protein substances may be produced through various extraction, purification, and modification techniques to obtain the desired properties and purity levels. The manufacture of hide powder, on the other hand, generally involves the treatment of animal hides or skins to remove impurities and produce a fine, powdery material.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of goods under HS code 3504 include raw protein sources, such as meat, milk, or plant-based materials, as well as various chemicals and enzymes used in the extraction, purification, and modification processes. Additionally, specialized equipment, such as reactors, filtration systems, and drying units, are necessary to facilitate the production of these protein-based products.

Production outputs

The outputs of the industry covered by HS code 3504 include a wide range of protein-based substances, such as peptones, protein derivatives, and hide powder. These products find applications in numerous industries, including 3002 Pharmaceuticals, 1901 Food processing, and 4104 Leather manufacturing. The protein-based materials produced under this code can be further processed or incorporated into a variety of end-use products, contributing to the overall value chain of these industries.
