Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If containing 65% or more P2O5 equivalents
Higher purity phosphoric acid shifts to the subheading for concentrated fertilizer grade under the same heading.
If compounded into a finished fertilizer product like monoammonium phosphate
Once mixed with ammonia or other substances to form NPK fertilizers, it becomes a fertilizer of Chapter 31, not pure phosphoric acid.
