HS Code for Prilled Urea (HS 3102.10)

Prilled urea (1.5-3mm particles from spray tower) is USD 5-15/MT cheaper than granular. Softer, dustier, and prone to caking - suited to bag markets and where fertilizer is broadcast rather than blended. Iranian, Egyptian, Middle East production is prilled-heavy; Russia has both.

Frequently asked questions

Prilled vs granular - end user preference?

Broadcast application (small-scale African/Asian farmers, direct spread on rice paddies) accepts prilled. Bulk blends (grain-belt mechanised farming in USA/Brazil/Ukraine) demand granular for uniform particle size with DAP/MOP. Rule of thumb: bag = prilled OK, bulk blend = granular.
