Imported fertilizer chemicals — including urea, diammonium phosphate (DAP), and potassium chloride — are critical inputs for US agriculture, supplementing domestic production capacity. Certain imported nitrogen fertilizers have historically been subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders, making classification accuracy and country-of-origin determination essential for importers. Handling and storage requirements under EPA and DOT regulations add compliance layers beyond standard customs entry.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which fertilizer products imported into the US have faced antidumping or countervailing duty orders?

Urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) solutions and certain solid nitrogen fertilizers have been subject to antidumping and countervailing duty orders from multiple countries. Importers should check the current scope of active orders with the US International Trade Commission and Commerce Department before sourcing.

Does the EPA have a role in the importation of fertilizer chemicals?

Yes. Certain fertilizer chemicals, particularly those containing pesticide-active ingredients or regulated substances, may require EPA review under TSCA or FIFRA. Additionally, facilities storing large quantities of ammonium nitrate are subject to EPA Risk Management Program requirements.
