U.S. imports of ammonia in aqueous solution (HS 281420) totaled $655K in July 2026, traded with 8 countries.
Importers of Ammonia in Aqueous Solution paid $569 in duties in July 2026 — an effective duty rate of 0.6% on $90K in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule.
Last updated: July 2026 dataAqueous ammonia — commonly traded as ammonium hydroxide — serves as a critical industrial input for fertilizer production, water treatment, refrigeration systems, and chemical synthesis, and the entire heading resolves to a single 10-digit line (2814200000). Canada is the leading supplier, benefiting from geographic proximity and integrated North American chemical supply chains, with Taiwan, Japan, Belgium, and Germany also contributing. Concentration levels and intended end use drive regulatory classification: high-purity grades destined for semiconductor fabrication face different handling and documentation requirements than agricultural or industrial grades. Importers should confirm whether shipments meet DOT hazardous-materials transport standards, as aqueous ammonia is regulated as a corrosive and toxic substance in transit.

At the HS6 level, heading 281420 covers all aqueous ammonia regardless of concentration, and the single US 10-digit line 2814200000 does not subdivide by concentration. However, concentration is critical for DOT hazmat classification, shipping documentation, and end-use regulatory compliance, so it must be declared accurately on the bill of lading and safety data sheet.
Importers generally need a commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading, and a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) meeting OSHA HazCom standards. Because aqueous ammonia is a DOT-regulated hazardous material, proper UN number labeling, emergency response information, and carrier certification are also required. High-purity electronic-grade ammonia may additionally require a certificate of analysis specifying trace-metal and moisture content.
