Federal Register Notice: Continuation of Potassium Phosphate Salt Subsidies Order

Estimated reading time: 5–7 minutes

Key Findings

The Department of Commerce has found that ending the countervailing duty order would lead to a continuation or recurrence of subsidies. This order has been in place for some time to address unfair trade practices from China.

Background

The original order was published on July 22, 2010. On June 1, 2026, the third review of this order began. This review is commonly known as a “sunset review.” It is required by law and ensures that duties are still needed.

The review was expedited since there wasn’t an adequate response from the interested parties in China. Hence, the U.S. conducted a quick (120-day) review.

Companies Involved

Several companies in China are listed in the findings. These include:

• Lianyungang Mupro Import Export Co., Ltd.
• Mianyang Aostar Phosphate Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.
• Shifang Anda Chemicals Co., Ltd.

All these companies have a countervailable subsidy rate set at 109.11 percent.

What Happens Next

The notice serves to remind parties about handling confidential information. Those with access to certain information must either return or destroy it promptly, as per regulations.

This Federal Register notice also informs interested parties about these final results. The continuation of the order follows sections of U.S. trade law, which include specifics about subsidies and rates.

The Department of Commerce, along with the International Trade Administration, will continue to monitor and enforce these duties to ensure fair trade practices.

Contact Information

This notification concludes the review process for now, but may be revisited if circumstances change. It’s a step to ensure that the U.S. market is not harmed by subsidized imports from China, thereby maintaining fair competition and protecting domestic producers.
