Import Tips & Compliance

• Provide color and impurity specs (e.g

• Fe, Al content) to justify fertilizer grade status

• Secure phytosanitary certificates if phosphate rock origin raises concerns

Related Products under HTS 2809.20.00.20

Fertilizer Grade Phosphoric Acid 52% P2O5

This is a liquid phosphoric acid solution with 52% P2O5 content, specifically produced for use in manufacturing compound fertilizers like NPK blends. It falls under HTS 2809.20.00.20 as 'other' fertilizer grade phosphoric acid, distinct from merchant grade due to its lower purity and higher impurities suitable for direct fertilizer application. Polyphosphoric forms are excluded as this is monophosphoric acid.

Wet Process Phosphoric Acid for DAP Fertilizer

Wet-process phosphoric acid derived from phosphate rock, containing 52-54% P2O5 with typical impurities like fluorides and sulfates, used primarily in diammonium phosphate (DAP) production. Classified under HTS 2809.20.00.20 as fertilizer grade 'other' due to its specific formulation and lower purity optimized for fertilizer manufacturing rather than technical applications.

52% P2O5 Phosphoric Acid for NPK Fertilizer Production

Industrial-grade phosphoric acid at 52% P2O5 concentration from wet process, designed for blending into nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (NPK) fertilizers. It qualifies for HTS 2809.20.00.20 as 'other' fertilizer grade phosphoric acid, differentiated by its cost-effective impurity levels unsuitable for food or pharma uses.

Merchant-Impure Phosphoric Acid for Bulk Fertilizers

Lower-purity phosphoric acid (52% P2O5) with elevated green/dyellow impurities, sourced for large-scale fertilizer production like triple superphosphate. Under HTS 2809.20.00.20 as fertilizer grade 'other,' it meets chapter notes for chemically defined phosphoric acid used in agriculture.
