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

HS v2022 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 wide range of mineral and chemical fertilizers that are packaged in small quantities, typically 10kg or less. These fertilizers play a crucial role in modern agriculture, helping to improve soil fertility and crop yields. They are an essential input for farmers and gardeners around the world, contributing to global food security and the broader agricultural economy.

Production process

The production of fertilizers under HS code 310510 involves various chemical processes. Raw materials such as phosphates, nitrates, and potassium compounds are extracted, refined, and combined in specific formulations. These formulations are then granulated, compressed, or otherwise processed into tablets, pellets, or other small packaging formats suitable for retail sale and easy application by end-users.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 310510 fertilizers include mineral and chemical raw materials, such as 310540 Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; ammonium nitrate, whether or not in aqueous solution, 310560 Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; containing the two fertilizing elements nitrogen and phosphorus, and 310590 Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; n.e.c. in heading no. 3105. Additionally, specialized production equipment, such as granulators, compactors, and packaging machinery, are necessary to transform the raw materials into the final consumer-ready products.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of HS code 310510 are small-scale, packaged fertilizer products suitable for use by individual consumers, such as homeowners, gardeners, and small-scale farmers. These fertilizers may be consumed by a wide range of other HS codes, including 870322 (Motor vehicles for the transport of persons; with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel), of a cylinder capacity exceeding 1,000 cc but not exceeding 1,500 cc), 870323 (Motor vehicles for the transport of persons; with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel), of a cylinder capacity exceeding 1,500 cc but not exceeding 2,500 cc), and 870324 (Motor vehicles for the transport of persons; with compression-ignition internal combustion piston engine (diesel or semi-diesel), of a cylinder capacity exceeding 2,500 cc).
