Goods classified here enter the United States duty-free at the general (normal trade relations) rate, as do about 50% of the 14 tariff lines in chapter 35. Free here means free of the base duty only: origin-specific Chapter 99 duties such as Section 301 can still be owed.
The other lines in the same group are 3502.11.00 (egg albumin: dried, 47.6¢/kg), 3502.19.00 (egg albumin: other, 9.7¢/kg) and 3502.20.00 (milk albumin, including concentrates of two or more whey…, duty-free).
Census statistics map these goods to NAICS 325199 (All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing), an industry of 894 US establishments employing 77,304 people. That is the industry code a US manufacturer of the same product would normally use.
All 3 neighbouring lines carry the same duty-free rate, so a borderline choice between them changes the statistics reported, not the duty paid.
