Dried Egg White Powder from Japan
Dried egg white powder is produced by spray-drying liquid egg albumen from chicken eggs, resulting in a fine powder with high protein content. It falls under HTS 3502.19.00.00 as 'other egg albumin' since it is a concentrated form of egg albumin not specifically dried in sheets. This product is widely used in baking and confectionery for its binding and foaming properties.

Import Tips
• Verify protein content exceeds 80% on dry matter basis with lab certification to confirm classification as egg albumin
• Obtain supplier certificates of analysis specifying it's not for therapeutic use to avoid Chapter 30 reclassification
• Check for Salmonella testing compliance as FDA requires negative results for egg products entering the US
