HTS code 3504.00 classifies imports of: Peptones and their derivatives; other protein substances and their derivatives, not elsewhere specified or included; hide powder, whether or not chromed:. This line sits within Chapter 35 (Albuminoidal substances; modified starches; glues; enzymes), Section VI (Products of the Chemical or Allied Industries), and is catalogued as a heading in the USITC 2026 Basic Edition. The schedule specifies ad valorem (percentage-of-value) duty for this line. Chapter 35 covers a broad category with many neighboring tariff lines, so double-check the classification against the closest matches before filing.

The general (MFN / Column 1 General) rate for HTS 3504.00 is Free, which applies to most trading partners of the United States. No special preferential rate is listed for this line, so FTA origin alone will not reduce the general duty. Because the general rate is Free, most imports under this code enter the US without duty, though anti-dumping, countervailing, or Section 301 tariffs can still apply depending on country of origin.

Beyond the published rate, importers should check for Section 201 safeguards, Section 301 China tariffs, and any active AD/CVD orders that can materially change the real landed cost.
