SITCSection 5
U.S. imports of phosphates, n.e.s. (SITC 52363) totaled $32.8M in April 2026, traded with 31 countries.
Importers of Phosphates, N.E.S. paid $5.5M in duties in April 2026 — an effective duty rate of 19% on $29.9M in dutiable value, based on actual customs collections rather than the published tariff schedule. Phosphates, N.E.S. imports of $32.8M in April 2026 ran 31% above the year-to-date monthly average of $25.1M.
Last updated: April 2026 dataPhosphates not elsewhere specified under SITC 52363 encompass a broad set of inorganic phosphate salts — including mono- and di-calcium phosphate, zinc phosphate, and various ammonium phosphates — that do not fall under the dedicated sodium tripolyphosphate or polyphosphate headings. These compounds are critical inputs for animal feed supplements, metal surface treatment, dental materials, and food processing. Correct classification requires distinguishing the specific cation and degree of phosphate condensation, as several related compounds carry their own dedicated SITC codes.

Sodium tripolyphosphate (52364) and polyphosphates NES (52365) have their own headings, so 52363 applies to orthophosphates and other phosphate salts not captured there. The key classification variables are the cation (calcium, zinc, ammonium, etc.) and whether the compound is a condensed polyphosphate or a simple orthophosphate salt.
Certain phosphate compounds — particularly diammonium phosphate and monoammonium phosphate from specific origins — have historically been subject to antidumping or countervailing duty investigations. Importers should verify current order status with the Commerce Department and confirm the precise chemical identity and country of origin before entry.
