# European Commission proposes added tariffs on Russian, Belarusian fertilizers

> The European Commission proposed additional tariffs on fertilizer imports from Russia and Belarus, adopted January 28. The fees start at EUR 40-45/mt in July 2025 and rise to EUR 315-430/mt by 2028, with an accelerator that could bring them to maximum levels earlier.

## Why it matters

Higher EU duties on Russian and Belarusian urea and phosphates reduce import supply into Europe and support fertilizer prices. Because the proposal sets a clear, escalating cost, it has a material effect on global nitrogen and phosphate trade flows.
