About
Compass Minerals International, Inc. (CMP) operates as a significant global producer and supplier of vital minerals, concentrating its activities primarily across the United States, Canada, Brazil, and the United Kingdom, while also serving other international markets. The company organizes its diverse operations into three main business divisions: Salt, Plant Nutrition North America, and Plant Nutrition South America. Within its Salt segment, Compass Minerals offers a comprehensive suite of sodium chloride and magnesium chloride products. These include various forms such as rock salt, salt produced through mechanical and solar evaporation, and both brine and flake magnesium chloride. This division also procures potassium chloride and calcium chloride, which it either sells as standalone finished goods or integrates with salt to create specialized blends. The applications for these products are extensive: they function as de-icing agents for roadways, are used by both professional and consumer markets, serve as fundamental ingredients in chemical production, aid in water treatment, contribute to human and animal nutrition, and fulfill a wide spectrum of other industrial and consumer demands. An additional service provided by this segment is records management. The Plant Nutrition North America segment specializes in delivering sulfate of potash specialty fertilizers, available in a variety of grades. Its portfolio includes agricultural products suitable for methods like broadcast spreading, direct application, and liquid fertilizer solutions; turf products tailored for the ornamental market and for blends used on golf course greens; organic options marketed under the Protassium+ brand; and micronutrient products, including those under the Wolf Trax label and other brands. This segment's clientele includes agricultural input distributors and retailers, as well as direct growers. Finally, the Plant Nutrition South America segment provides a selection of specialized plant nutrients and supplements. It also supplies essential chemicals for water and wastewater purification, decontamination, and treatment processes, alongside various process chemicals designated for industrial applications. Initially incorporated as Salt Holdings Corporation, the company formally adopted its current name, Compass Minerals International, Inc., in December 2003. Established in 1993, its corporate headquarters are situated in Overland Park, Kansas.

FAQs
Can Indian residents buy Compass Minerals International stock?
Yes. Compass Minerals International (CMP) has been listed on the New York Stock Exchange since 2003, in the Industrial Materials industry, and Indian residents can buy it through Paasa. You fund the account from your Indian bank under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme and the money is converted to US dollars. Shares are held in your own name at Interactive Brokers LLC and are SIPC-insured up to $500,000 in total, including $250,000 for cash.
How much does one Compass Minerals International share cost in rupees?
One Compass Minerals International share is $22.62 — about ₹2,172 at a USD/INR rate of 96.02 on 24 Sep 2026. Both the Compass Minerals International price and the rupee rate move during the day, so the rupee cost changes with them.
What are the LRS and TCS rules for buying Compass Minerals International from India?
Remit up to $250,000 per financial year under the RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme (LRS). Banks collect 20% tax at source on LRS remittances above ₹10 lakh in a financial year; the TCS is adjustable against your income-tax liability. FX and the LRS declaration are handled by your bank when you fund your account.
Can I buy whole shares of Compass Minerals International?
Yes. One Compass Minerals International share is $22.62, and you can buy as many whole shares as you like. You can also buy by amount rather than by quantity: there is no minimum trade size, and Paasa supports fractional investing in Compass Minerals International.
How are gains on Compass Minerals International shares taxed in India?
The US does not levy capital gains tax on shares for Indian residents, so the tax is an India-side one. Gains on shares held for more than 24 months are long-term and taxed at 12.5%. Gains on shares held for 24 months or less are short-term and taxed at your income-tax slab rate. The gain is computed in rupees using the USD/INR rate on the purchase and the sale date, so the rupee move counts alongside the Compass Minerals International price. Paasa issues a capital-gains statement for your return.
Does Compass Minerals International pay a dividend?
No. Compass Minerals International does not currently pay a dividend, so holding it produces no dividend income to declare in India. If it starts paying one, the Indian treatment is the usual one — dividends are taxed at your slab rate in India — and Paasa's dividend report would show the gross amount and any tax withheld.
When can I trade Compass Minerals International from India?
The New York Stock Exchange trades 7:00 pm – 1:30 am IST in Indian time, so the close lands after midnight. The window shifts to 8:00 pm – 2:30 am IST when the US is on standard time. Orders can only execute during that window.
Is there estate or inheritance tax on Compass Minerals International shares held from India?
US-situs assets such as US-listed shares can be exposed to US estate tax for non-US persons. It applies to your overall holdings in that jurisdiction rather than to any one position. Paasa's US estate tax calculator shows the exposure for a given portfolio value.
Do I have to declare Compass Minerals International shares in my Indian tax return?
Yes. Foreign shares held on 31 March must be reported in Schedule FA of your Indian income-tax return. Paasa gives you a Schedule FA-ready statement listing your Compass Minerals International holding, its cost and its closing value.
How do I sell Compass Minerals International and bring the money back to India?
You sell during market hours (7:00 pm – 1:30 am IST) and the proceeds settle in USD in your Paasa account. From there you can hold the balance, reinvest, or repatriate. Funds can be withdrawn in any currency to any bank account in your own name. Whether the sale is short- or long-term is decided by the 24-month holding period.
