Import Tips & Compliance
• Ensure the product is pure and chemically defined as K2HPO4, with no added organic or stabilizing agents that could shift classification
• Keep a certificate of analysis and the supplier's technical data sheet to present to the CBSA if requested
• Verify whether the end use (food vs. industrial) triggers additional agency requirements, such as Health Canada or CFIA

Disodium Potassium Phosphate
Disodium potassium phosphate is a mixed salt containing both sodium and potassium cations. Although it contains potassium, it is not a single chemically defined potassium phosphate; it may be classified as a complex salt or under another phosphate heading depending on its exact composition.
Food-Grade Monopotassium Phosphate
Food-grade monopotassium phosphate (KH2PO4) is a chemically defined potassium phosphate salt meeting FCC purity specifications. Its use as an acidity regulator in food does not alter its classification as a phosphate of potassium under this tariff item.
Monopotassium Phosphate (MKP)
Monopotassium phosphate (KH2PO4) is a chemically defined inorganic salt used as a fertilizer and reagent. It is a phosphate of potassium and falls squarely under this tariff item, regardless of its agricultural application.
Potassium Dihydrogen Phosphate
Potassium dihydrogen phosphate is another name for monopotassium phosphate (KH2PO4). It is a chemically defined potassium phosphate salt used in fertilizers and as a laboratory reagent, classifiable under this tariff item.
