HS-4 · Heading

3105 — Fertilizers; mineral or chemical, containing 2 or 3 of the elements nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium; other fertilisers; goods of chapter 31 in tablets or packages of gross weight not exceeding 10kg

Chapter 31: Fertilisers

Plain-language overview

Use HS-4 3105 when importing mineral or chemical fertilizers that contain nitrogen, phosphorus, or potassium, especially if they come in packages weighing no more than 10kg. For example, a shipment of small bags of granular fertilizer designed for home gardening would fall under this code.

Choosing the right HS-6 subheading can depend on the specific composition of the fertilizer. For instance, if your product contains all three key nutrients—nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium—it should be classified under 310520. However, if it’s a specific type like ammonium dihydrogenorthophosphate, you would use 310540.

If your fertilizer contains only two of the elements, such as nitrogen and phosphorus without nitrates, then 310559 is appropriate. On the other hand, if it contains phosphorus and potassium, you would select 310560. Understanding these distinctions is crucial for accurate classification and compliance.
