Farmers would pay less for key fertilizers from Morocco.

This bill would remove certain taxes, called duties, on phosphate fertilizers imported from Morocco. This means American farmers could see lower costs for these important supplies. Importers would also get refunds for past payments for these specific fertilizers.

What Would Change

Today, duties can be imposed on phosphate fertilizers from the Kingdom of Morocco under specific trade laws, and special import taxes (countervailing duties) are currently in effect. If this bill passes, these specific duties would no longer apply to certain Moroccan phosphate fertilizers, and the existing special import taxes for these products from Morocco would be canceled. Importers would also get refunds for past cash deposits paid under those canceled taxes.

Key Provisions

Ends certain import taxes on phosphate fertilizers from the Kingdom of Morocco, taking effect seven days after the bill is signed into law.
Cancels existing special import taxes on phosphate fertilizers from the Kingdom of Morocco, taking effect four business days after the bill is signed into law.
Requires the Secretary of Commerce to ensure no new duties or cash deposits are collected for these Moroccan fertilizers, with some exceptions.
Requires U.S. Customs and Border Protection to refund past cash deposits paid for these Moroccan fertilizers within 90 days after the bill is signed into law.
