Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If put up in retail packaging like 50lb bags with consumer labeling
Retail-packed diammonium phosphate, superphosphates, and potassic fertilizers fall under heading 3105 for consumer forms.
If blended with urea or ammonium nitrate
Mixtures with nitrogen-based fertilizers from heading 3102 qualify under 3102 note 2(b) as mixed fertilizers.
If for industrial or non-agricultural chemical use
Pure disodium sulfate as a chemical compound falls under Chapter 28 inorganic chemicals, not fertilizers.
