U.S. exports of enzymes & prepared enzymes (nesoi) (HS 350790) totaled $92.7M in July 2026.
Importers of Enzymes & Prepared Enzymes (NESOI) paid $4.9M in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 9.6% on $50.5M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Enzymes & Prepared Enzymes (NESOI) imports of $61.3M in July 2026 ran 15% below the year-to-date monthly average of $71.8M.
Last updated: July 2026 dataEnzymes not elsewhere specified — ranging from industrial proteases and lipases to specialty biocatalysts — are a high-value input for food processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, biofuel production, and textile treatment. The US schedule separates penicillin G amidase (3507902000), a pharmaceutical-grade enzyme used in antibiotic synthesis, from all other enzymes and prepared enzymes (3507907000), a distinction that signals different end-use regulatory pathways. Denmark and Japan lead US imports, consistent with the global dominance of Scandinavian and Japanese enzyme producers in industrial biotechnology. Enzyme preparations intended for food use are subject to FDA oversight, while pharmaceutical-grade enzymes may require additional agency review depending on their intended application.

Penicillin G amidase (3507902000) is singled out because it is a pharmaceutical-grade enzyme with a specific and narrow application: catalyzing the hydrolysis of penicillin G to produce 6-aminopenicillanic acid (6-APA), the core building block for semi-synthetic antibiotics. Its separation from the general enzyme NESOI line (3507907000) allows customs authorities to track this strategically important pharmaceutical input distinctly from commodity industrial enzymes.
Food-grade enzymes must come from an FDA-registered foreign facility, and Prior Notice must be filed before arrival. The importer should confirm that the enzyme has GRAS status or an applicable food additive regulation for its specific food-use application. Technical documentation — including the enzyme's activity specification, source organism, and intended use — should be retained to support both FDA admissibility review and correct HTS classification.
