Five-Year Review of Fertilizer Duties
The U.S. International Trade Commission instituted reviews on March 2, 2026 to decide whether revoking the countervailing duty orders on phosphate fertilizers from Morocco and Russia would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to the U.S. domestic phosphate fertilizer industry. The original countervailing duty orders took effect on April 7, 2021.
Businesses Must Provide 2025 Data
If you are a U.S. producer, importer, or exporter of the subject phosphate fertilizers, you must submit detailed information about 2025 operations (quantities in short tons and values in U.S. dollars) by 5:15 p.m. on April 1, 2026. The Commission will use responses to decide whether to conduct expedited or full reviews, and may draw adverse inferences under Sec. 776(b) if a party fails to provide complete information.
