Code 3504.00.90.91 covers High protein content pea protein, which contains more than 65 percent protein on a dry weight basis, encompassing all types of pea protein derived from peas (including, but not limited to, yellow field peas and green field peas), in all physical forms (including solid (e.g. powder) and liquid (solution) forms), whether textured or not. Classification turns on the material, function, and intended use of the goods, not on their trade name. ### What is the duty rate for 3504.00.90.91? The third-country duty rate for 3504.00.90.91 is 0 %. Goods originating in a country with a preferential agreement may qualify for a lower rate against valid proof of origin. ### What is the HS code for 3504.00.90.91? The first six digits form the HS code: 350400. Those are uniform worldwide, while the further digits carry the EU Combined Nomenclature and the national subdivision. ### How many digits does 3504.00.90.91 have? 3504.00.90.91 has ten digits and carries the EU measures held in TARIC. A German import declaration requires the eleven-digit commodity code. ### Where does 3504.00.90.91 sit in the tariff? 3504.00.90.91 sits in this hierarchy: 35 ALBUMINOIDAL SUBSTANCES; MODIFIED STARCHES; GLUES; ENZYMES > 3504 Peptones and their derivatives; other protein substances and their derivatives, not elsewhere specified or included; hide powder, whether or not chromed > 350400 Peptone und ihre Derivate; andere Eiweißstoffe und ihre Derivate, anderweit weder genannt noch inbegriffen; Hautpulver, auch chromiert > 35040090 Other. The parent headings and their notes help decide whether the classification holds. ### Is there binding tariff information for 3504.00.90.91? Yes. The EBTI database holds decisions on 3504.00.90.91, for example NLBTI2025-1152. A BTI shows which product characteristics the customs authority relied on. ### What happens if the customs tariff code is wrong? An incorrect code leads to post-clearance recovery of duty and import VAT, delays at clearance, and a penalty where it repeats. A classification with documented reasoning can be defended in an audit. ### Is there an anti-dumping duty on 3504.00.90.91? Yes. Trade defence measures are in force on 3504.00.90.91, covering origin ERGA OMNES, Türkiye, China. The rate depends on the producer: without the correct TARIC additional code, the residual rate for all other companies applies, which can be considerably higher. ### Does customs tariff code 3504.00.90.91 change? 3504.00.90.91 is currently valid. The Combined Nomenclature is amended every 1 January, so master data should be checked against the current tariff annually. Published by TC21 Ventures GmbH, Berlin.
