The spaces only make the code easier to read. Customs declarations normally use the unspaced form, 35040090.
This is the catch-all under 3504 00: it covers what the sibling codes below do not.
Within this parent group, this is where the peptones, other protein substances and derivatives, and skin powder go when they are not the specifically named milk-protein concentrates with a protein content over 85% by weight on a dry-matter basis.
Compare the sibling codes at this level before you settle on this one.
Classification decides the rate here: from 0.0% to 3.4%.
Besides the ordinary duty, the EU records these kinds of measure against this code. They are listed as signals only: whether one applies to your goods can depend on where they come from, who produced them, the exact product and the documents you present. No amounts are worked out here.
Trade-defence measures, such as anti-dumping duty, may apply to goods originating in China; any country except China; Türkiye.
The duty depends on the producer or exporter, so two shipments of the same goods can be charged differently.
This is recorded on a more detailed code below this one, so it may not cover your goods.

Before you use the code
The code can be right while what you pay still changes, because of where the goods come from, when they arrive, or extra EU measures.
