Deamidated Casein Powder from United States
Deamidated casein powder is a chemically modified casein derivative produced by treating casein with acids or enzymes to remove amide groups, which enhances its solubility for use in bakery emulsions and other food applications. It is classified under tariff item 3501.90.00 as an 'other' casein derivative, as it is not a casein glue and is not excluded by Chapter 35 notes (e.g., not a hardened protein or gelatin product).

Import Tips
• Ensure the product is clearly identified as a casein derivative for food use, not a medicament or Chapter 34 preparation, to avoid misclassification
• Provide a certificate of analysis showing the deamidation process and intended use to the CBSA if requested
• Verify whether the product meets any food additive standards under the Food and Drugs Act, as this may affect admissibility
