Last updated: April 2026 dataWhey protein concentrates and milk albumin — valued in sports nutrition, infant formula, and functional food applications — are consolidated under the single line 3502200000, which captures both pure milk albumin and concentrates of two or more whey proteins. Denmark and New Zealand are the leading US suppliers, reflecting the scale and technical sophistication of their dairy fractionation industries. As dairy-derived food ingredients, these products are subject to FDA oversight under FSMA, including Foreign Supplier Verification Program requirements. Importers should note that whey protein concentrates may also be subject to tariff-rate quota provisions depending on protein content and end-use, making pre-entry classification review important for cost planning.

Whey in its less-processed forms (e.g., dried whey) is typically classified in Chapter 4 as a dairy product. Heading 3502 captures albumins and protein concentrates that have been further processed or fractionated to a degree that removes them from the dairy chapter. The protein content, processing method, and intended use are key factors in determining whether a whey-derived product belongs in Chapter 4 or under 3502200000.
Certain dairy-derived protein products, including some whey protein concentrates, may be subject to TRQ provisions that apply lower in-quota duty rates up to a specified volume, with higher rates above quota. Importers should verify current TRQ applicability and quota fill status with CBP and consult a licensed customs broker before committing to large-volume shipments.
