HS Code for Granular Urea (HS 3102.10)

Urea (46% N) is the world's most-traded fertiliser at ~180 million MT/yr, half of which crosses borders. Granular (2-4mm) is preferred over prilled for handling and bulk-blending; commands a USD 5-15/MT premium. All urea is CBAM Annex I from 2026.

Frequently asked questions

Prilled vs granular?

Prilled urea is made by spraying molten urea down a tower; smaller particles (1.5-3mm), softer, more dusting. Granular is fluid-bed granulated, harder, larger (2-4mm), better for bulk blending with DAP/MOP. Same HS but granular is USD 5-15/MT premium.
