BTI (Binding Tariff Information) is an official EU customs decision confirming the classification of goods. Valid for 3 years, binding across all EU member states.

Classification of DAP and applications

CN code 310540 covers diammonium hydrogenphosphate (DAP, (NH4)2HPO4) including mixtures with ammonium sulphate. DAP is one of the most widely used phosphorus-nitrogen fertilisers globally, typically containing 18 per cent nitrogen and 46 per cent P2O5. It is supplied in granular form and used as a base fertiliser and component of fertiliser blends. Classification requires the product to be intended for fertiliser use. DAP is produced from phosphoric acid and ammonia. A certificate of analysis stating N and P2O5 content is required during customs clearance.

Fertiliser regulations and CBAM

DAP is subject to Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 regarding quality and labelling requirements. Import of DAP into the EU is subject to CBAM as a nitrogen and phosphorus fertiliser under heading 3105. Cadmium limits in the phosphorus component must be met. DAP is subject to REACH registration (CAS 7783-28-0) and is not classified as hazardous under CLP. Transport is not subject to ADR. A Safety Data Sheet is required in commercial trade. Importers must comply with CBAM reporting and purchase certificates from 2026.

Trade and customs procedures

Import of DAP under CN code 310540 requires a commercial invoice with composition, certificate of analysis and CBAM documentation. Major DAP exporters include Morocco, China, Russia and Saudi Arabia. Importers should check current duty rates and any anti-dumping measures in TARIC. EU trade sanctions may affect DAP availability from certain countries. Proof of origin documentation enables tariff preferences. Due to increasing cadmium requirements, the phosphate rock source used in DAP production has regulatory significance.

EU Fertilising Products Regulation 2019/1009

Importing fertilisers under CN code 3105 40 (Diammonium phosphate) is subject to EU Regulation 2019/1009 on fertilising products. Fertilisers must meet quality standards regarding nutrient content, heavy metals (Cd, Pb, Hg), and contaminants. Labels must include an EU declaration of conformity, composition, and application instructions. Transport of high-nitrogen fertilisers falls under ADR (class 5.1). Import from third countries may require a phytosanitary certificate. Market surveillance authorities verify declared parameters against the label.

Frequently asked questions

Is DAP subject to CBAM?
Yes. DAP classified under CN code 310540 is subject to CBAM as a nitrogen-containing fertiliser under heading 3105. Importers must report embedded CO2 emissions and from 2026 purchase CBAM certificates corresponding to emissions from ammonia and phosphoric acid production.
What are the quality requirements for imported DAP?
DAP must meet Regulation (EU) 2019/1009 requirements including minimum N and P2O5 content, cadmium limits, heavy metals and moisture content. A certificate of analysis confirming composition and purity is required during customs clearance.
What is the difference between DAP and MAP?
DAP (diammonium phosphate) typically contains 18 per cent N and 46 per cent P2O5, while MAP (monoammonium phosphate) contains 11 per cent N and 52 per cent P2O5. DAP is classified under code 310540, MAP under code 310530. The difference is in the nitrogen to phosphorus ratio.
What standards must fertilisers CN 3105 40 meet in the EU?
Fertilisers under CN code 3105 40 must comply with EU Regulation 2019/1009 (FPR) setting limits on heavy metals, minimum nutrient content, and labelling requirements.
