Last updated: April 2026 dataAmmonium nitrate fertilizers are high-nitrogen straight fertilizers widely used in grain and row-crop production, valued for their rapid nitrogen availability. Imports face heightened regulatory scrutiny beyond customs classification: the Department of Homeland Security and EPA both maintain oversight of ammonium nitrate due to its explosive potential, and importers must comply with facility registration and reporting requirements under the Chemical Facility Anti-Terrorism Standards (CFATS) framework. Antidumping duty orders have historically targeted ammonium nitrate from certain origins, making country-of-origin documentation a critical compliance step for every shipment.
AI-written summary of the official U.S. Census Bureau trade figures on this page — verify before relying on it.
Yes. Antidumping duty orders have been applied to ammonium nitrate from certain countries. Importers should verify the current scope of any active orders with CBP and confirm country-of-origin documentation before entry, as misclassification of origin can trigger significant liability.
Beyond standard customs entry, ammonium nitrate is a Tier 1 chemical of interest under CFATS. Facilities that receive, store, or handle imported ammonium nitrate above threshold quantities must register with CISA and may be subject to site security plan requirements. Importers should coordinate with their logistics partners to ensure downstream facilities are compliant before arranging delivery.
