3502 Albumins (including concentrates of two or more whey proteins containing more than 80 wt.% whey proteins in terms of dry matter), albuminates and other albumin derivatives: – egg albumin: 3502 11 – dried 3502 19 – – – other 3502 20 – milk albumin, including concentrates of two or more whey proteins 3502 90 – other

(1) Albumines are proteins of animal or plant origin. Animal proteins are the most important proteins, these include egg protein (egg albumin), serum albumin (serum albumin), milk albumin (lactalbumin) and fish albumin. Unlike casein, they are soluble in water as in alkalis; when heated, their solutions coagulate. This heading also includes whey protein concentrates containing two or more whey proteins in an amount greater than 80 % by weight on dry matter. The content of whey proteins is calculated by multiplying the nitrogen content by a transfer coefficient of 6.38. Whey protein concentrates containing whey proteins of 80 % or less by weight in terms of dry matter are classified in heading 0404. Albumins usually come in the form of viscous liquids, transparent yellow flakes or amorphous white, reddish or yellowish powders. They are used for the preparation of adhesives, foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, skin finishing, for the treatment of fabrics or paper (especially photographic paper), for the lightening of wine or other beverages, etc. (2) Albuminates (albumin salts) and other albumin derivatives, especially iron albuminate, brominated albumins, iodized albumins and albumin-tannat. This heading also excludes (a) lyophilized blood, sometimes incorrectly referred to as “blood albumin” (heading 0511); (b) precious metal albuminates (heading 2843) or albuminates of headings 2844 to 2846 and 2852;

(c) serum albumin prepared for therapeutic or prophylactic purposes and human blood plasma (Chapter 30).
