Last updated: April 2026 dataAmmonium sulfate (21-0-0-24S) is a widely traded nitrogen-sulfur fertilizer valued in agricultural markets where sulfur deficiency limits crop yields, particularly for canola, corn, and small grains. Classified under a single 10-digit line (3102210000), it enters the US primarily from Canada, Belgium, and the Netherlands, with Russia and South Korea also among the leading suppliers. Much of the global supply is a byproduct of caprolactam or coke-oven operations, so production economics differ markedly from purpose-built nitrogen fertilizers. Importers should note that Russian-origin product may be subject to additional trade-remedy measures.

Ammonium sulfate is classified specifically under HTS 3102210000 as a straight nitrogen fertilizer containing sulfate. It is distinguished from double salts or mixtures of ammonium sulfate (heading 310229) and from urea or ammonium nitrate products. The sulfur content is a key agronomic and classification marker.
Importers should verify current antidumping and countervailing duty orders, as ammonium sulfate from certain origins has been subject to trade-remedy proceedings. Russian-origin product may also face additional measures. A licensed customs broker can confirm the applicable orders at time of entry.
