# U.S. Department of Commerce recommends continuing to impose a 20.04% countervailing duty on Moroccan phosphates

> The US Department of Commerce released final sunset review results recommending continued countervailing duties on phosphate imports from Morocco at a 20.04% subsidy rate tied to state-owned OCP. The recommendation goes to the International Trade Commission, which will decide whether removing the duties would cause material injury to the US industry.

## Why it matters

Keeping duties on Moroccan phosphate limits import supply to the US market, supporting domestic phosphate and DAP prices. The ITC decision will determine whether that tariff-like support persists.
