Product classification
HS code for Calcium ammonium nitrate mixture: 3102.60
Fertilizers, mineral or chemical, nitrogenous, double salts and mixtures of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate.
Classification of calcium ammonium nitrate mixture under HS 3102.60
Calcium ammonium nitrate (CAN) mixture is precisely classified under Harmonized System (HS) code 3102.60. This classification is dictated by its chemical composition and primary function as a fertilizer. The HS description for 3102.60 explicitly covers "Fertilizers, mineral or chemical; nitrogenous, double salts and mixtures of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate." This code is situated within Chapter 31, which is dedicated to fertilizers, underscoring the product's agricultural utility. The presence of both calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate, either as a double salt or a physical mixture, is the defining characteristic for its inclusion in this specific subheading, distinguishing it from other nitrogenous fertilizers.

Codes often confused with 3102.60
Common mistake. Calcium ammonium nitrate mixture is frequently confused with other nitrogenous fertilizers. For instance, pure ammonium nitrate is classified under HS 3102.30, and pure calcium nitrate falls under HS 3102.40. The critical distinction for HS 3102.60 is the presence of a mixture or double salt of both calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate. Products consisting solely of one of these compounds, or mixtures with other nitrogenous compounds not specifically combining these two, would be classified under their respective individual codes or broader fertilizer categories within Chapter 31, such as other nitrogenous fertilizers (HS 3102.90). Careful examination of the product's exact chemical composition is essential to avoid misclassification.
Top exporters and importers of HS 310260 (the code used for calcium ammonium nitrate mixture), 2025
In 2025, the largest exporter of HS 310260 (the code used for calcium ammonium nitrate mixture) in UN Comtrade data was China, with 32% of world exports; the largest importer in UN Comtrade data was the United States, with 12% of world imports.

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).
