HEADING

3102

CHAPTER

31Fertilisers

In plain English

This heading covers mineral or chemical fertilizers that contain nitrogen. The goods are separated into specific groups based on their chemical composition, such as urea, ammonium sulphate, ammonium nitrate, sodium nitrate, and calcium nitrate mixtures. Some categories include these substances whether they are in solution or mixed with other non-fertilizing materials like calcium carbonate. Any other nitrogenous fertilizers not listed in these specific groups fall into the final category.

Chapter 31 classification notes

Chapter 31 includes ammonium-nitrate (3102.30) which is subject to dual-use export controls in many jurisdictions due to explosives potential. Personal-import zero.

Frequent misclassification in this chapter

Pesticides go to Chapter 38 not 31; soil amendments without fertiliser content go to Chapter 25.

Classification certainty

The 6-digit level shown here is the internationally harmonised layer. Duty rates attach to national 8-10 digit tariff lines, which differ by country — use the duty calculator for lane estimates. For binding certainty, request a ruling from the destination customs authority.
