Published Date: 6/30/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep extra taxes on phosphate fertilizers from Russia because stopping them could let unfair government help continue. This affects U.S. fertilizer makers like Mosaic and Simplot, protecting them from cheaper imports. These duties stay in place starting June 30, 2026, helping U.S. farmers and businesses compete fairly.

Specified Countervailing Duty Rates Imposed
Commerce determined net countervailable subsidy rates (percent ad valorem) for imports of Russian phosphate fertilizers: EuroChem 24.11%, JSC Apatit 14.64%, and All Others 16.64%. These rates are the subsidy rates likely to prevail if the Order were revoked and are effective as of June 30, 2026.
CVD Order Continues on Russian Fertilizers
The Department of Commerce decided not to revoke the countervailing duty (CVD) order on phosphate fertilizers from the Russian Federation; the order remains applicable June 30, 2026. Commerce found that revocation would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of countervailable subsidies.
