Evidence

Commerce ACCESS lists the countervailing-duty case for phosphate fertilizers from Morocco, indicating the duty order remains an active trade-remedy proceeding rather than a repealed or eliminated duty.

The targeted Morocco phosphate fertilizer duty still appears as an active Commerce case; no delivery evidence was found in the June 9-July 8, 2026 lookback.

Commerce published a countervailing duty order on phosphate fertilizers from the Kingdom of Morocco after affirmative Commerce and ITC determinations.

The duty the promise targeted was formally imposed during Hyde-Smith's 2021-2027 Senate term and has not been shown eliminated by legislation.

The USITC final report found material injury to a U.S. industry from subsidized phosphate fertilizer imports from Morocco and Russia, supporting the issuance of countervailing duty orders.

The official injury determination explains the basis for the Morocco duties; it does not show Hyde-Smith delivered legislation to eliminate them.

Commerce's 2026 sunset-review notice covers active antidumping and countervailing duty orders that are due for five-year review, including the Morocco phosphate fertilizer countervailing-duty matter.

A 2026 sunset-review initiation is a concrete sign that the duty order still had not been eliminated before the current lookback window.

Assessments

unresolved same_term

The Morocco phosphate fertilizer countervailing-duty order was imposed during Hyde-Smith's current Senate term and the available 2026 Commerce/ Federal Register evidence indicates the order remained active and subject to sunset review, not eliminated. The record provided does not show enacted legislation removing the duties or a serious Hyde-Smith legislative effort that failed. Because she is still serving the same 2021-2027 term, the promise remains unresolved rather than finally failed.
