3 six-digit codes · Heading 3 of 5 in Chapter 31 · World Customs Organization Harmonized System
HS code 3103 is where customs puts phosphatic fertilizers, with superphosphates as the main group. This page helps you pick the right six-digit code and find who trades the product.
“Fertilizers; mineral or chemical, phosphatic” divides three ways under heading 3103 — 310311, 310319 and 310390. Each carries its own customs description, and the exact wording below is what a classification has to match. The heading is number 3 of 5 in Chapter 31, Fertilizers, which runs to 24 six-digit codes in all.
Six-digit codes under heading 3103
| HS Code | Import–export description |
|---|---|
| 310311 | Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; phosphatic, superphosphates, containing by weight 35% or more of diphosphorus pentaoxide (p2o5) |

What heading 3103 covers
These fertilizers are made from minerals or by chemical processes. They are not taken from plants or animals. The key nutrient is phosphorus.
You may also see this written as HSN code 3103. The number is the same. It belongs to the Harmonized System, the shared product list that customs offices use to sort goods.
A customs filing needs a six-digit code. The first four digits name the product family. The last two name the exact type inside it.
How to choose between 310311, 310319 and 310390
Start with one question: is the product a superphosphate? If yes, check how much diphosphorus pentaoxide (P2O5) it holds by weight. Your lab report or supplier spec sheet will show this.
The three codes work like this:
- 310311: superphosphates with a P2O5 content of 35 or more by weight.
- 310319: superphosphates below that line.
- 310390: other phosphatic fertilizers that no other code in this heading covers.
Phosphatic fertilizers vs other Chapter 31 headings
