Phosphate Fertilizers From Morocco and Russia; Notice of Commission Determination To Conduct Full Five-Year Reviews

Brief takeaway: The ITC is moving ahead with full five-year (sunset) reviews on the countervailing duty orders covering phosphate fertilizers from Morocco and Russia, meaning those duties remain under review rather than being changed right now.

What changed: According to the notice, the Commission will conduct full reviews under the Tariff Act of 1930 to determine whether revoking the countervailing duty orders on phosphate fertilizers from Morocco and Russia would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury. The notice states a schedule for the reviews will be established and announced at a later date.

Who's affected: The notice names phosphate fertilizers as the product, and cites Morocco and Russia as the countries of origin subject to the countervailing duty orders under review. Specific HTS codes are not stated in this notice.

What to review:
- Review whether products you import may fall within the scope of these phosphate fertilizer countervailing duty orders.
- Confirm with your customs broker the origin of your fertilizer imports and whether Morocco or Russia is involved.
- Check for the review schedule and any later ITC or Commerce notices announcing deadlines or determinations.
- Confirm current countervailing duty deposit and reporting requirements with your broker, since the orders remain in effect during the review.
