# U.S. and Russia: Phosphate Import Duties | AgAmerica

> Agricultural groups including the American Soybean Association, National Corn Growers Association and National Cotton Council oppose proposed duties on phosphate imports from Morocco and Russia. The US International Trade Commission ruled in March 2021 in favor of Mosaic's petition, opening the way for duties. Some foreign suppliers had already halted US shipments to avoid paying duties.
