joined U.S. Senator Roger Marshall, M.D. in introducing legislation to lower the cost of fertilizer for American farmers... by eliminating tariffs and countervailing duties on phosphate fertilizer imports from Morocco
Support legislation to eliminate tariffs and countervailing duties on phosphate fertilizer imports from Morocco to lower fertilizer costs for American farmers.
Occurrences
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phosphate fertilizers from Morocco, indicating the duty order remains an active trade-remedy proceeding rather than a repealed or eliminated duty.
Commerce published a countervailing duty order on phosphate fertilizers from the Kingdom of Morocco after affirmative Commerce and ITC determinations.
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.
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.
Assessments
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.
