About HS Code 310530
This HS code specifically identifies diammonium hydrogenorthophosphate, commonly known as Diammonium Phosphate (DAP). DAP is a highly concentrated and widely used phosphatic fertilizer, valued for its high phosphorus content and significant nitrogen contribution. It's a global commodity, essential for promoting strong root development and early plant vigor, making it a popular choice for pre-plant or at-planting applications across a vast array of crops. Major producers include countries with access to phosphate rock and ammonia, such as China, India, the United States, and Morocco, which export to agricultural regions worldwide. Key importers are typically large farming economies like Brazil, India, and Southeast Asian nations, where demand for efficient phosphorus sources is consistently high. The trade in DAP is influenced by global grain prices, energy costs, and environmental regulations.
Products Under This Code
Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) granular, DAP powder, bulk DAP fertilizer, blended DAP products, liquid DAP solutions
Real World Examples
Mosaic MicroEssentials S15, OCP DAP, PhosAgro DAP, Nutrien DAP, ICL DAP
Common Misclassification
Can be confused with monoammonium phosphate (MAP, 310540) due to similar chemical composition and use; however, DAP has a higher nitrogen content relative to phosphorus (typically 18-46-0 vs. 11-52-0 for MAP).
EU Regulatory Requirements
This product falls under the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). Importers to the EU must declare embedded carbon emissions and purchase CBAM certificates.
