HS Code 3102Fertilizers; mineral or chemical, nitrogenous

What HS code 3102 covers

In plain words, these are nitrogen fertilizers made by industry. They are not made from animal or plant waste.

The goods include urea, ammonium sulphate, ammonium nitrate and sodium nitrate. Mixtures of these salts are here too. Some mixtures are dry, and some are liquid.

Customs offices around the world share the first six digits of an HS code. After six digits, each country adds its own digits. Always check your local tariff before you file.

HS 3102 subcodes: urea, ammonium sulphate, ammonium nitrate and more

Each six-digit subheading names one main product. Here is a short label for each one, so you can spot the right line fast.

• 310210: urea, dry or in water
• 310221: ammonium sulphate
• 310229: other nitrogenous fertilizers that are not ammonium sulphate
• 310230: ammonium nitrate, dry or in water
• 310240: ammonium nitrate mixed with calcium carbonate or other inorganic non-fertilizing substances
• 310250: sodium nitrate
• 310260: double salts and mixtures of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate
• 310280: mixtures of urea and ammonium nitrate in water or ammoniacal solution (often called a urea ammonium nitrate solution)
• 310290: other kinds, including mixtures not named in the lines above

How to choose the right 3102 subcode

Start with the main ingredient on the label. If it is urea alone, whether solid or in water, use 310210. If it is ammonium sulphate, use 310221. A nitrogenous fertilizer that is not ammonium sulphate goes to 310229 when it fits that group.

Ammonium nitrate needs more care because four codes touch it. Plain ammonium nitrate goes to 310230. If it is blended with calcium carbonate or another inorganic filler that does not feed plants, look at 310240. If the product is a double salt or mix of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate, use 310260. If it is urea and ammonium nitrate together in a liquid, use 310280.

Keep 310290 as the last stop. Use it only when nothing above describes your product. Ask three questions: what is in it, is it mixed, and is it dry or liquid?

Duty and tax rates change from country to country. Run your product through the HS code classifier, then confirm the rate with the customs office in the market you ship to.

HS 3102 vs 3101, 3103, 3104 and 3105

The other headings in Chapter 31 fertilizers are split by what the fertilizer contains. If your product is nitrogen only, stay in 3102. If it adds other nutrients, it may belong next door.

• 3101: fertilizers that are animal or vegetable, mixed or chemically treated
• 3103: mineral or chemical fertilizers that are phosphatic
• 3104: mineral or chemical fertilizers that are potassic
• 3105: fertilizers with 2 or 3 of the elements nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, other fertilisers, and goods of the chapter in tablets or packages of gross weight not exceeding 10kg
