# Liquid fertiliser users set for import tariff price hike - Farmers Weekly

> The EU's Trade Defence Instruments Committee voted narrowly on 11 September to impose anti-dumping tariffs on urea ammonium nitrate (UAN) imports from Russia, the US and Trinidad and Tobago, with the UK voting against. Copa-Cogeca estimates the duty adds 6-9% to costs, and details on implementation are expected later this year.

## Why it matters

Higher-cost imported UAN pushes EU and UK buyers toward ammonium nitrate and urea, tightening nitrogen supply and supporting fertilizer prices. For feed buyers this is a modest input-cost signal rather than a direct grain price driver.
