Peptones and their derivatives; other protein substances and their derivatives, not elsewhere specified or included; hide powder, whether or not chromed
Analysis
Subheading 3504.00 covers peptones and their derivatives; other protein substances and their derivatives, not elsewhere specified or included; hide powder, whether or not chromed, within heading 3504. The first six digits are shared by every country that uses the Harmonized System, so this part of the code is the same in the US, UK and EU schedules; the 2 US tariff lines below it are national.
None of its 2 lines is duty-free at the general rate. Rates run from 4% to 5% with a median of 4.5%, so the line you choose sets the duty.
The US splits it as follows: 3504.00.10 for peptones and their derivatives; other protein substances and their… (5%) and 3504.00.50 for peptones and their derivatives; other protein substances and their… (4%).
By Census's concordance, most of its statistical lines are made by Soybean and Other Oilseed Processing (311224). Those are the NAICS industries a US producer of these goods would report under.
