HS-4 · Heading

3102Fertilizers; mineral or chemical, nitrogenous

Chapter 31: Fertilisers

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 3102 when importing nitrogenous fertilizers like urea in bulk or ammonium nitrate solutions. For instance, if you're bringing in urea fertilizer for agricultural use, this heading applies directly to your shipment.

To differentiate among the HS-6 lines, consider the specific type of nitrogenous fertilizer. If your product is urea, you will classify it under HS-6 310210. However, if you have ammonium sulfate, you should use HS-6 310221 instead.

If your product includes ammonium nitrate, you’ll need to choose between HS-6 310230 for pure ammonium nitrate and HS-6 310240 if it’s mixed with calcium carbonate. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for proper classification.

For products that don't fit neatly into the above categories, such as mixtures of urea and ammonium nitrate, refer to HS-6 310280. Always check the specific formulation to ensure accurate tariff classification.
