Glycosylated Casein Derivative
Glycosylated casein derivative is a casein protein modified by attaching carbohydrate molecules through the Maillard reaction, improving its solubility for use in beverages and food technology. It is classified under tariff item 3501.90.00 as an 'other' casein derivative, as it is a chemical modification of casein and not excluded by Chapter 35 notes.

This product may fall under a more specific subheading:
Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If the product is essentially unmodified casein with minor glycosylation
If the modification is minimal, it may be classified as casein rather than a derivative.
If the reducing sugar content exceeds 10% on a dry basis
Chapter 35 note 2 specifies that starch degradation products with high reducing sugar content fall in heading 17.02, though this applies to dextrins, not casein.
If the product is a food preparation with casein as an ingredient
Food preparations not elsewhere specified may be classified in Chapter 21.
