The threshold applies to the net weight of the product per package. A shipment of many small packages each not exceeding 10 kg net qualifies for this heading even if the total shipment weight is large, provided each individual retail unit meets the weight limit.
Fertilizers sold in the US are primarily regulated at the state level under individual state fertilizer laws, which typically require guaranteed analysis labels showing nitrogen, phosphate, and potash percentages. Importers should verify compliance with the destination state's labeling rules before distribution, as requirements vary and non-compliant labeling can result in product holds or recalls.
