Manufacture of fertilizers and nitrogen compounds

The manufacture of nitrogen compounds involves complex chemical synthesis. Under MD 229 of 2025, this is categorized as 'Manufacturing of goods or materials'. Forensic auditors will verify the 'substantial transformation' of raw materials into new products to ensure the income is not re-characterized as 'Trading' (an Excluded Activity if conducted with non-Free Zone persons).

Audit Red Flag

Misclassification of 'simple blending' or 're-packaging' as 'manufacturing' to circumvent the 'substantial transformation' requirement.
