Bovine Serum Albumin from United States
Bovine Serum Albumin (BSA) is a highly purified albumin extracted from cow blood, commonly used in cell culture media and laboratory research. It is classified under tariff item 3502.90.00 as an 'other' albumin, distinct from egg albumin (3502.11.00) and milk albumin (3502.19.00), and not prepared for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, thus excluded from Chapter 30.

Import Tips
• Ensure the BSA is not presented as a medicament or for therapeutic use, as that would shift classification to Chapter 30
• Provide a Certificate of Analysis showing purity and absence of pathogens for CBSA review
• Verify the product is not radioactive or covered by heading 28.44/28.45, per Section Note 1
