310280
Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; nitrogenous, mixtures of urea and ammonium nitrate in aqueous or ammoniacal solution
Heading 3102 — Fertilizers; mineral or chemical, nitrogenous
Chapter 31: Fertilisers
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 310280 when importing or exporting nitrogenous fertilizers that consist of mixtures of urea and ammonium nitrate in either aqueous or ammoniacal solutions. For example, a shipment of a liquid fertilizer containing 30% urea and 20% ammonium nitrate would fall under this code.
This code specifically targets liquid fertilizers, unlike HS-6 310210, which covers solid urea or HS-6 310221, which includes ammonium nitrate in solid form. If your product is a concentrated liquid fertilizer, 310280 is the appropriate classification.
When considering the composition, mixtures that are predominantly aqueous or ammoniacal solutions should be classified here. If your product is a dry blend or contains other nitrogen sources, you may need to look at different HS codes.
Understanding the specific formulation of your fertilizer is crucial. For instance, if your product contains additional nutrients or is designed for specialized agricultural applications, it might require a different classification.
