See note 6 to this chapter for the definition of ‘other fertilisers’ used in this heading.
These subheadings include:
1. all fertilisers containing the two fertilising elements nitrogen and potassium. However, these subheadings do not cover chemically defined potassium nitrate, even if it is intended to be used as a fertiliser (subheading 2834 21 00);
2. fertilisers with a single fertilising element, other than those falling in headings 3102 to 3104.
