Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If as nitrogen fertilizer
Chapter 29 excludes urea (3102), and applied uses could shift, but pure chemical stays organic salts.
If simple ammonium salts
Inorganic focus ignores organic anion, but note mandates organic compound heading.
