# Vietnam extends safeguard actions on imports of phosphorus fertilizers

> Vietnam's Ministry of Industry and Trade extended safeguard duties on imported monoammonium phosphate and diammonium phosphate for two more years. The customs duty is about $46 per tonne and will fall slightly in steps through September 2022. The measure keeps duties in place rather than removing them.

## Why it matters

Continued import duties keep Vietnamese DAP and MAP import costs elevated, limiting import volumes. The effect on global prices is small because the duty step-downs are modest.
