Investigated Product

Ammonium sulphate is an inorganic and synthetic nitrogen fertilizer. It has a nitrogen content of 21% and a sulfur concentration of 24%. The chemical formula for ammonium sulfate is (NH4)2SO4. It generally is available in two presentations: standard and granular. The standard presentation consists of particles smaller than 2 millimeters, while the granular presentation contains particles larger than 2 millimeters.

Tariff Item

Ammonium sulphate is imported into national territory under tariff item 3102.21.01 of the Mexican Law of General Import and Export Tariffs.

The Ministry of Economy determined that the period of investigation is from July 1st, 2023, to June 31st, 2024

Period of Analysis (Injury)

The deadline to participate in the investigation is May 2nd, 2025. An extension to the deadline may be requested.

Previous elimination of antidumping duties
