HS Code:
Ammonium dihydrogenorthophosphate, commonly known as Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP), falls under HS Code 310540. It is a widely used fertilizer due to its high phosphorus and nitrogen content, essential for plant growth. MAP is also utilized in fire extinguishers as a flame retardant and in various industrial applications. Its global trade is driven by agricultural demand, particularly in regions with intensive farming practices.
