Last updated: July 2026 dataUrea is the world's most widely traded solid nitrogen fertilizer, with the highest nitrogen content of any common granular product, and it serves as a benchmark commodity in global nitrogen markets. Antidumping and countervailing duty orders have been applied to urea from multiple origins over the years, and the current order landscape should be verified before contracting, as scope and suspension agreements can shift. Urea is traded both as granular product for direct soil application and in aqueous solution, and the two forms may carry different classification treatment depending on concentration and intended use.

Yes, SITC 56216 covers urea fertilizers whether or not in aqueous solution. However, at the HTS level, granular and solution forms may be classified under different tariff lines, and trade-remedy orders may define scope by physical form. Importers should confirm that the specific form — granular, prilled, or solution — is covered by or excluded from any active antidumping or countervailing duty orders before entry.
CBP typically requires a certificate of origin, manufacturer's declaration, and in some cases a mill certificate or production affidavit to establish that urea was produced in the declared country of origin. For urea subject to active antidumping orders, importers may also need to post a cash deposit at the applicable rate and may be subject to administrative review. Working with a licensed customs broker experienced in fertilizer trade-remedy cases is strongly advisable.
