# EuroChem welcomes removal of antidumping duties on Russian urea and AN | World Fertilizer

> The US Department of Commerce ended a 64.93% antidumping duty on Russian urea, effective 20 December 2016, following its earlier rescission of a 253.98% duty on Russian ammonium nitrate in August 2016. EuroChem, a major nitrogen producer, welcomed the decision after years of lobbying.

## Why it matters

Removing antidumping duties makes Russian urea and AN more competitive in the US market, which adds import supply and could ease US nitrogen prices over time.
