Chapter 31: Fertilisers

Plain-language overview

Use HS-6 310319 when importing or exporting phosphatic fertilizers that do not contain 35% or more of diphosphorus pentoxide (P2O5). For example, a shipment of superphosphate fertilizer with a P2O5 content of 30% fits this classification.

This code specifically addresses fertilizers that are mineral or chemical in nature, focusing on those that are phosphatic but do not exceed the specified P2O5 threshold. In contrast, HS-6 310320 covers superphosphates that do meet or exceed the 35% P2O5 requirement.

When classifying your products, note that HS-6 310319 includes various formulations of superphosphates, which are commonly used to enhance soil fertility. These fertilizers are essential for crops that require phosphorus for growth.

If you're unsure whether your product qualifies under this code, consider the P2O5 content and the specific formulation. Always check your product specifications against the HS code requirements to ensure compliance.
