HS Code 2814.10 – Ammonia; anhydrous
HS code 2814.10 is the 6-digit subheading for ammonia, anhydrous. It is used for anhydrous ammonia, liquid ammonia, gaseous ammonia, NH3 and refrigerant ammonia.
What HS 2814.10 covers
Anhydrous ammonia (NH3) is a crucial industrial chemical, traded globally in its highly concentrated, water-free form. It is a fundamental building block for nitrogen fertilizers, making it indispensable for the agricultural sector to enhance crop yields. Beyond agriculture, it serves as a refrigerant in industrial cooling systems, a raw material for producing nitric acid, explosives, and pharmaceuticals, and as a neutralizing agent in various chemical processes. Major importers and exporters include large chemical conglomerates, fertilizer manufacturers, and energy companies. Due to its corrosive, toxic, and pungent nature, and its classification as a dangerous good, international trade in anhydrous ammonia is subject to strict safety regulations for storage, handling, and transportation, often requiring specialized pressurized tankers. The inclusion of "CBAM" indicates its relevance to the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, highlighting its carbon-intensive production and the increasing focus on emissions in its trade.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries that did not report are estimated from what other countries recorded trading with them. Those estimates miss trade with other non-reporting countries, so they can be low, and a non-reporting country can rank higher than shown or be missing from the list. World totals add both and leave out trade between two non-reporting countries. Figures are in current US dollars; reported imports are mostly valued CIF and exports FOB, and exports include re-exports. The UN Comtrade links show the underlying records; they can also list a few reporters left out here (regional groups and older HS editions).
