Last updated: August 2026 dataWidely used as functional ingredients in meat analogues, sports nutrition, and food manufacturing, protein concentrates and textured protein substances are classified at the 6-digit level under heading 210610, with the US schedule distinguishing textured soy protein concentrate (2106101000), pea protein concentrate (2106105000), and all other protein concentrates and textured protein substances (2106109000), plus a general line (2106100000). The soy and pea protein lines reflect the rapid commercial growth of plant-based protein ingredients, and importers should note that the source protein—soy, pea, or other—determines the correct 10-digit line. Section 301 tariff exposure may apply to certain shipments depending on country of origin, making origin documentation a key compliance consideration.

A blend that cannot be classified as purely textured soy protein concentrate (2106101000) or pea protein concentrate (2106105000) would generally fall under the residual line 2106109000 for protein concentrates and textured protein substances not elsewhere specified. The essential character of the blend and the predominant protein source are key factors; a licensed customs broker should be consulted for mixed-ingredient products.
Depending on the country of origin, certain protein concentrate imports may be subject to Section 301 tariffs. Origin documentation and supplier country must be verified before entry, as the applicable duty can vary significantly by source.
