Last updated: August 2026 dataSoy, wheat, and pea protein isolates dominate the US tariff schedule under this heading, with dedicated 10-digit lines for textured soy protein isolate (3504001010), other soy protein isolate (3504001020), wheat protein isolate (3504001030), and pea protein isolate (3504001040) — reflecting the rapid growth of plant-based ingredient sourcing. Brazil and China are the leading suppliers, with Canada, Australia, and France also contributing meaningfully to import volumes. Peptones and hide powder (chromed or not) fall under a separate cluster of lines (3504005000 series), including organic and non-organic pea-derived variants, serving industrial fermentation media and leather-processing markets. FDA oversight applies to food-grade protein isolates, and importers should verify that foreign establishments meet applicable labeling and food-safety requirements.
