3102 under the UK CBAM

In scope · fertilisers

Mineral or chemical fertilisers, nitrogenous

The System Boundaries Document gives urea under 3102 10 its own category and boundary, where carbon dioxide received from another installation as a process input is treated as an embodied emission. The nitrogen content of each grade, by form, is the figure to hold.

Basis
Schedule 16 to the Finance Act 2026, Table in paragraph 1
Sector
fertilisers
Aggregated goods category
Mixed fertilisers, except 3102 10 which is urea
Relevant gases
Carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide for mixed fertilisers; carbon dioxide only for urea under 3102 10
Precursors
Ammonia, nitric acid, urea and mixed fertilisers, each where used; ammonia for urea
Emissions treatment
The net weight of the good multiplied by the Treasury default value under regulation 4 of SI 2026/995, or by the installation's verified emissions intensity under regulation 5.

The checker applies the Table to any eight-digit code. Whether goods are correctly classified under a code is a customs question under paragraph 2(2) of Schedule 16, and the code on the customs declaration decides.

The threshold calculator says when the customs value of covered imports triggers registration, the guide on actual data and default values says how the emissions are determined, and the relief guide says how a carbon price paid abroad reduces the tax.
