Chapter 31: Fertilisers
Plain-language overview
Use HS-6 310430 when importing or exporting potassium sulphate, a key fertilizer used to supply potassium to crops. For instance, a shipment of 1,000 kg of potassium sulphate in bulk bags would fall under this code.
This code specifically covers mineral or chemical fertilizers that are potassic, focusing on potassium sulphate. In contrast, HS-6 310420 pertains to other potassic fertilizers like potassium chloride, which has different applications and chemical compositions.
Potassium sulphate is often used in agriculture to enhance crop yield and quality, especially for potassium-sensitive plants such as fruits and vegetables. It is typically found in granular form or as a water-soluble powder.
When classifying potassium sulphate, consider its packaging. If it’s in 25 kg bags or larger bulk containers, it still qualifies under this HS-6. Be cautious not to confuse it with non-potassic fertilizers, which fall under different headings.
