Overview
This HTS category, 3102.50.00.00, specifically classifies sodium nitrate, a chemical compound commonly used as a nitrogenous fertilizer. It is a distinct product from other nitrogenous fertilizers listed under heading 3102. For instance, it is differentiated from urea (3102.10), ammonium sulfate (3102.20), and ammonium nitrate (3102.30) by its specific chemical composition and properties.
Unlike the mixtures and double salts found in sibling categories such as 3102.40 (mixtures of ammonium nitrate with calcium carbonate or other inorganic non-fertilizing substances) and 3102.60 (double salts and mixtures of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate), this classification is for pure sodium nitrate. The primary distinguishing factor for this category is the absence of other fertilizer components or non-fertilizing inorganic substances mixed with the sodium nitrate.
As a leaf node within the HTS structure, 3102.50.00.00 does not have further subcategories. Classification at this level is final, and goods conforming to the description of sodium nitrate, intended for use as a fertilizer and meeting the chemical specifications, will be classified here. The primary classification criterion is the identification of the chemical substance itself as sodium nitrate.
