HS Code for Collagen Peptides Powder / Hydrolysed Collagen: 3504.00.00

Classification Notes

Collagen peptides (hydrolysed collagen) and marine collagen powder classification depends on presentation. Pure bulk hydrolysed collagen / peptones from bovine, porcine, marine (fish skin), or chicken sources in unflavoured powder form is classified under 3504.00. Retail-packed collagen supplements with added flavours, vitamins, or sweeteners (Vital Proteins, Sports Research, NeoCell, Further Food, Ancient Nutrition, Bulletproof) frequently shift to 2106.90.98 (food preparations). Marine collagen from jellyfish/fish skin has the same classification as bovine. Type I, Type II, and Type III collagen: classification by chemistry, not source — 3504 for hydrolysed peptones. Non-hydrolysed gelatin (different from collagen peptides) is 3503.00 — the distinction is whether the protein has been further broken into peptones. Type II undenatured chicken collagen for joint health: 3504. Liquid collagen drinks (Skinade, Absolute Collagen) ready for consumption are 2106.90 as food preparation. Collagen capsules with encapsulated powder: 2106.90. Collagen in bone-broth powder: 2106.90 as flavoured food preparation. The EU/US/UK 4% MFN rate on 3504 applies uniformly. Collagen face creams (topical cosmetic) are 3304.99 — entirely different chapter.
