Last updated: April 2026 dataDried egg products — produced by spray-drying or pan-drying whole eggs, yolks, or whites — are a high-value ingredient for the baking, pasta, and food-manufacturing industries, where consistent protein functionality and extended shelf life are priorities. USDA FSIS regulates imported dried egg products, requiring that shipments originate from approved foreign establishments and undergo reinspection at the US port of entry. Moisture content and solubility specifications are critical quality parameters that buyers specify contractually, and deviations can affect both functionality in end-use applications and classification accuracy. Importers should distinguish dried whole eggs from dried egg whites (albumen), as the latter may classify under a separate SITC heading.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Buyers commonly specify moisture content (typically below 5%), protein content, solubility index, and microbiological standards such as Salmonella-negative status. Gel strength and whipping performance are additional parameters for egg white powders used in confectionery or meringue applications. These specs should be reflected in the purchase contract and verified against certificates of analysis accompanying each shipment.
Dried whole eggs and dried egg yolks fall under this SITC heading (02521), while dried egg albumen (egg white) is classified separately under SITC 02530. The distinction matters because the two products have different end uses, duty treatments, and sometimes different regulatory documentation requirements. Importers should confirm the product composition before filing the entry to avoid misclassification.
