Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; in tablets or similar forms or in packages of a gross weight not exceeding 10kg

HS v2017 Code: 310510

About fertilizers, mineral or chemical; in tablets or similar forms or in packages of a gross weight not exceeding 10kg

HS code 310510 covers a range of mineral or chemical fertilizers that are packaged in tablets, similar forms, or containers weighing 10kg or less. These small-scale fertilizer products play a crucial role in the agricultural industry, providing farmers and gardeners with convenient and accessible options for nutrient management. As a key input for food production, this industry supports global food security and economic development.

Production process

The production of 310510 fertilizers typically involves a multi-step process. Raw materials such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium compounds are sourced and then combined using various chemical processes to create the desired nutrient composition. The fertilizer mixture is then granulated, compacted, or tableted to achieve the desired physical form. Packaging and labeling are the final steps before the products are distributed to retailers and end-users.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 310510 fertilizer industry include a range of mineral and chemical compounds, such as 310210 Ammonium Sulphate, 310230 Ammonium Nitrate, 310540 Potassium Chloride, and 310560 Mineral or Chemical Fertilizers Containing the Two Fertilizing Elements: Phosphorus and Potassium. Additionally, specialized machinery for mixing, granulating, and packaging the fertilizers is essential for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 310510 fertilizer industry is, of course, the packaged mineral or chemical fertilizers themselves. These products are then consumed by a variety of industries, including 010000 Live Animals, 020000 Meat and Edible Meat Offal, and 120000 Oil Seeds and Oleaginous Fruits; Miscellaneous Grains, Seeds and Fruit; Industrial or Medicinal Plants; Straw and Fodder, as they are essential inputs for agricultural production and crop cultivation.
