Fertilizers are available in many formulations, depending on the nutrients your plants need. Here are some of the most common fertilizer products:
Urea fertilizer is one of the most widely used nitrogen fertilizers in the world. It contains 46% nitrogen (N), making it a highly concentrated and cost-effective source of nitrogen for plants.
Key facts
- Analysis: 46-0-0 (46% nitrogen, 0% phosphorus, 0% potassium)
- Appearance: White granules or prills
- Uses: Lawns, vegetable gardens, field crops, fruit trees, and ornamental plants.
| Product | Typical Analysis | Main Use |
|---|---|---|
| Urea Fertilizer | 46-0-0 | Fast nitrogen for crops, lawns, and vegetables |
| Ammonium Sulfate | 21-0-0 + sulfur | Nitrogen plus sulfur; good for alkaline soils |
| Ammonium Nitrate | 34-0-0 | Fast nitrogen source (restricted in some regions) |
| Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) | 18-46-0 | Nitrogen and phosphorus for root development |
| Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) | 11-52-0 | High-phosphorus starter fertilizer |
| Muriate of Potash (MOP) | 0-0-60 | Potassium for flowering, fruiting, and stress tolerance |
| NPK Compound Fertilizer | 10-10-10, 15-15-15, 20-20-20, etc. | General-purpose balanced nutrition |
Types of fertilizers
-
- Nitrogen fertilizers – Encourage leafy growth (e.g., urea, ammonium sulfate).
-
- Phosphorus fertilizers – Promote root growth and flowering (e.g., DAP, MAP).
-
- Potassium fertilizers – Improve plant health, fruit quality, and disease resistance (e.g., MOP).
-
- Compound (NPK) fertilizers – Supply nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium together.
-
- Organic fertilizers – Such as compost, manure, bone meal, and blood meal, which release nutrients more slowly and improve soil structure.
The best fertilizer depends on what you’re growing and your soil’s nutrient levels. If you tell me the crop (e.g., corn, wheat, vegetables, lawn, fruit trees), we can recommend the most suitable fertilizer products and application rates.
For exporting fertilizers, the Harmonized System (HS) codes used internationally include:
| Fertilizer | HS Code (6-digit) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Urea | 3102.10 | Mineral or chemical nitrogenous fertilizer, urea (including aqueous solution) |
| Ammonium Sulphate | 3102.21 | Ammonium sulphate fertilizer |
| Ammonium Nitrate | 3102.30 | Ammonium nitrate fertilizer |
| UAN Solution | 3102.80 | Mixtures of urea and ammonium nitrate in solution |
| Superphosphates | 3103 | Phosphatic fertilizers |
| Potassium Chloride (MOP) | 3104.20 | Potassic fertilizers |
| NPK Compound Fertilizers | 3105 | Fertilizers containing two or three primary nutrients (N, P, K) |
For urea fertilizer specifically:
- HS Code: 3102.10 (often shown as 31021000 in 8-digit tariff schedules)
- Description: Urea, whether or not in aqueous solution
We are exporting from a specific country (such as Canada, India, or the U.S.), we can also provide the corresponding 8-digit or 10-digit export tariff code used by that country’s customs authority.
