The U.S. Department of Commerce International Trade Commission announced Nov. 18 that it is removing antidumping duties from PhosAgro’s urea.
“The U.S. Department of Commerce made this decision following a major effort to prove that PhosAgro sells its high-quality fertilizers in full compliance with anti-dumping regulations,” said PhosAgro CEO Andrey Guryev.
PhosAgro noted that in 2017 it plans to launch a new, high-tech granulated urea line with a capacity of 500,000 mt/y. It said production output from this line that is not consumed by PhosAgro’s domestic Russian market will be sold to export markets, including possibly the U.S.
