HS Code 3102.60 – Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; nitrogenous, double salts and mixtures of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate
HS code 3102.60 is the 6-digit subheading for fertilizers, mineral or chemical, nitrogenous, double salts and mixtures of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate. It is used for calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) double salts, calcium nitrate-ammonium nitrate mixtures, granular CAN, prilled CAN and specialty nitrogen-calcium fertilizers..
What HS 3102.60 covers
This HS code covers nitrogenous mineral or chemical fertilizers that are double salts or mixtures of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate. These specialized blends are designed to provide both immediate and sustained nitrogen release, along with calcium, which is vital for plant cell wall development and overall plant health. They are particularly valued in high-value horticulture, greenhouse cultivation, and for crops sensitive to chloride. The trade is dominated by large fertilizer manufacturers and specialty chemical companies, who export these premium products to agricultural regions globally, especially those with advanced farming practices. Importers include countries in Europe, North America, and Asia with intensive agricultural sectors. Key trade considerations include ensuring precise nutrient ratios, preventing caking during storage and transport, and meeting strict quality standards for solubility and purity, especially for fertigation systems.

Codes often confused with 3102.60
Common mistake. This code might be confused with other calcium ammonium nitrate preparations (310240) if the specific 'double salts and mixtures' aspect is not carefully distinguished, or with pure calcium nitrate (283429) if its primary use as a fertilizer is overlooked.

How these figures are built
109 countries reported 2025 trade to UN Comtrade in HS 2022, and their own totals are used. Countries marked * did not, so their figures add up what other countries recorded trading with them, and their exports are valued at buyers' CIF prices. 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).
