Sourcing this category from India
Chapter 35 covers albuminoidal substances, modified starches, glues and enzymes. India supplies industrial gelatin, casein, dextrins, modified starches and enzyme preparations to food, pharma and adhesive industries. This chapter is used to classify protein-based and starch-based industrial inputs by their source and by the degree of chemical modification.
How to read this code
35 is the two-digit HS chapter for albuminoidal substances. To clear customs your destination country extends it to a full 8–10 digit code and assigns the duty rate. India's preferential trade agreements (UAE CEPA, Australia ECTA, and others) can reduce or zero out that duty on many chemicals & allied industries lines — check our import guides for your market.
