Last updated: July 2026 dataTriple-nutrient NPK fertilizers — containing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in a single formulation — are among the most widely traded compound fertilizers globally and enter the US under 3105200000. Lithuania and Canada lead supply under this heading; Lithuania's prominence reflects the Baltic region's significant blending and granulation capacity serving export markets. NPK grades vary widely (e.g., 15-15-15, 10-26-26), and the specific nutrient ratio drives agronomic suitability, pricing, and sometimes origin-specific antidumping exposure, making grade documentation critical.

Heading 310520 requires the presence of all three macronutrients — nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium — in a single product. If only two of the three are present, the product falls under one of the binary-nutrient headings (e.g., 310551 or 310559 for N+P combinations, or 310590 for other combinations).
Certain NPK fertilizer products have historically been subject to antidumping investigations in the US, particularly for products originating from specific countries. Importers should check the USITC and Department of Commerce databases for active orders or ongoing investigations covering the specific grade and origin before committing to a purchase.
