What Is the HSN Code for Fertilizers
All major fertilizers are covered in the fertilizer chapter of the tariff. Organic fertilizers and manures come under the first heading, while chemical fertilizers are grouped based on the primary nutrient they supply, such as nitrogen, phosphorus or potassium.
How Organic and Chemical Fertilizers Are Classified under HSN
Organic fertilizers include compost, vermicompost, farmyard manure and other plant or animal-based manures. Chemical fertilizers include urea, DAP, MOP, NPK mixtures and water-soluble fertilizers. Mixed products that combine organic and chemical nutrients are classified using tariff rules that look at the product's main character.
GST Implications on Fertilizer Products
Fertilizers used in agriculture generally enjoy concessional GST rates to keep farming costs low. Dealers and manufacturers charge GST at these lower rates but can still claim input tax credit on many input goods and services, subject to ITC rules. Proper HSN coding is important to preserve these benefits and avoid disputes about eligibility for concessional rates.
