HS Code for Urea ammonium nitrate solution

Urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) solution is classified under HS code 3102.80. This code is found in Chapter 31, which is dedicated to fertilizers. Heading 3102 covers mineral or chemical fertilizers that are nitrogenous. Subheading 3102.80 specifically identifies mixtures of urea and ammonium nitrate in aqueous or ammoniacal solution. The classification is based on the chemical composition and the physical state of the product. UAN is a liquid fertilizer widely used in agriculture because it combines three forms of nitrogen: nitrate, ammonium, and urea. To fall under this specific code, the product must be a solution; solid mixtures of these components would be classified elsewhere. The Harmonized System distinguishes between pure substances and mixtures, and 3102.80 is the precise designation for this specific liquid nitrogenous blend. This ensures that agricultural trade statistics, environmental regulations, and specific fertilizer tariffs are accurately applied by customs authorities worldwide.

Products Included

• UAN 28 (28% nitrogen solution)
• UAN 30 (30% nitrogen solution)
• UAN 32 (32% nitrogen solution)
• Aqueous solutions of urea and ammonium nitrate
• Ammoniacal solutions of urea and ammonium nitrate

Common Misclassification

UAN solution is often misclassified as pure urea (3102.10) or pure ammonium nitrate (3102.30). It can also be confused with 3105.20 if it contains phosphorus or potassium. If the mixture is in a solid form rather than a solution, it may fall under 3102.90 as another nitrogenous fertilizer mixture.

FAQ

What is the HS code for urea ammonium nitrate solution?

The HS code for mixtures of urea and ammonium nitrate in aqueous or ammoniacal solution is 3102.80.

Can this code be used for dry fertilizer?

No, 3102.80 is specifically for solutions. Dry or solid mixtures of nitrogenous fertilizers are typically classified under 3102.90.
