Micellar Casein Isolate from Japan
Micellar casein isolate is a purified form of casein derived from milk, retaining its natural micellar structure for slow digestion, commonly used in protein powders for muscle recovery. It is classified under tariff item 3501.90.00 as an 'other' casein derivative, as it undergoes isolation processes beyond basic casein production and is not a glue or excluded product.

Import Tips
• Confirm that the product is not a milk protein substance with 85% or more milk protein content, as supplementary note 1 would direct it to tariff item 3504.00.11 or 3504.00.12
• Provide technical data on the isolation process and protein content to the CBSA
• Ensure labeling complies with Canadian food regulations if sold as a dietary supplement
