Ammonium sulphonitrate
Ammonium sulphonitrate nitrogenous fertiliser
HSN 3102 29 10 (Ammonium sulphonitrate) is subject to the Fertilizer (Control) Order, 1985, as amended, which governs the import, distribution, and sale of nitrogenous fertilisers in India. Compliance with the Order's registration and quality standards is a precondition for customs out-of-charge at the bill-of-entry stage.

- Quality certificate from exporter
- 1Confirm that the ammonium sulphonitrate consignment meets the grade specifications and labelling requirements prescribed under the Fertilizer (Control) Order, 1985, as amended. Non-conforming product is liable to detention and refusal of out-of-charge at the port of entry.Fertilizer (Control) Order, 1985 (as amended)
- 2Ensure all import documentation establishes conformity with the Fertilizer (Control) Order, 1985 requirements and upload supporting quality documentation before filing the bill of entry.

The most common error on this tariff line is treating ammonium sulphonitrate as a generic commodity import and overlooking the Fertilizer (Control) Order, 1985 quality-specification and labelling regime, which applies regardless of country of origin. A consignment that meets the CIF value and tariff classification but fails the Order's grade or labelling requirements will be detained at port, and the importer remains liable for demurrage and ground rent during any corrective process.
