How is the ammonium nitrate price assessed?
Trade-implied from customs data (rule v3, 29 Sep 2026). Trade-implied unit value: the customs value of a country's monthly trade in the commodity's HS code divided by the customs tonnage, from national customs statistics as compiled by UN Comtrade, on the world-partner total. Exports FOB are used for net exporters and imports CIF for net importers, so each country line is the leg that carries the volume. The tonnage is the as-shipped weight recorded by customs, so lye and solution products are priced on shipped tonnes, not contained product. A month is published only when its tonnage clears the volume floor and the figure passes the desk's checks against the previous months and the other countries; a month that fails is held, not estimated. A figure marked rev was revised after first publication and the earlier value stays in the record.
A quarter is the mean of its published months. Years before the monthly series are customs annual totals (value over net weight); years under 1,200 t traded are left out. The world figure is the tonnage-weighted mean of the countries sharing the latest month. "rev" marks a revised figure; the earlier value stays in the record. Every number is computed from the customs record and verified by the research desk; nothing is typed in.
Primary source: national customs statistics as compiled in UN Comtrade (monthly, HS 310230, world partner), classified under the WCO Harmonized System.
