This article highlights two important developments affecting the fertilizer trade. First, the newly signed Section 338 tariffs by U.S. President Trump, effective August 19, impose a 50% duty on certain Canadian imports but exclude critical fertilizers such as potash, sulfur, and sulfuric acid. These exemptions protect the agricultural sector from potential cost increases. At the same time, the Trump administration is seeking changes to the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement, requiring annual reviews for a long-term extension beyond 2036. Second, the U.S. Department of Commerce has recommended maintaining countervailing duties on Moroccan phosphate imports due to continued subsidies for the producer OCP. Despite Trump’s recent temporary suspension of these duties due to a "supply emergency," the department's review indicates a subsidy rate of 20.04% for OCP.
