Products classified under HTS 2106.10.00.00
Soy Protein Isolate Powder
A highly refined protein powder derived from soybeans, containing at least 90% protein by weight, used primarily as a dietary supplement or ingredient in protein shakes. It falls under HTS 2106.10.00.00 as a protein concentrate not suitable for human consumption as a complete food but for adding protein to other products.
Whey Protein Concentrate 80%
Dairy-derived whey protein standardized to 80% protein content, commonly used in sports nutrition and bakery fortification. Classified under HTS 2106.10.00.00 as a protein concentrate from milk processing, excluding isolated caseins.
Textured Soy Protein Chunks
Defatted soy flour extruded into chewy, meat-like chunks for use as a vegetarian meat substitute in recipes. It qualifies under HTS 2106.10.00.00 specifically for textured protein substances mimicking animal protein texture.
Pea Protein Concentrate
Yellow pea-derived protein concentrate with 65-85% protein, used in hypoallergenic formulas and meat extenders. Falls under HTS 2106.10.00.00 as a plant-based protein concentrate for food industry applications.
Vital Wheat Gluten
Concentrated wheat protein extracted for its viscoelastic properties, used in baking and seitan production. Classified in HTS 2106.10.00.00 as a protein concentrate, though sometimes debated with Chapter 35.
Rice Protein Powder
