Dear Members,

EU Commission proposes suspension of MFN duties on several key nitrogen fertilisers and inputs

For information:

Coceral has informed about the European Commission proposal to suspend for one year, the most favoured nation (MFN) duties on imports of several key nitrogen fertilisers and inputs for their production (ammonia, urea). The tariff suspension will be implemented for all countries, except Russia and Belarus, through duty-free tariff rate quotas, on a first-come, first-served basis.

The products foreseen are:

CN code	Description	Volume of tariff quota (metric tonnes)	Order number
2814 10 00, 2814 20 00	Ammonia, anhydrous or in aqueous solution	300 000	09.0172
3102 10 12, 3102 10 15, 3102 10 19, 3102 10 90	Urea, whether or not in aqueous solution	890 000	09.0173
3102 21 00	Ammonium sulphate	413 000	09.0174
3102 60 00	Double salts and mixtures of calcium nitrate and ammonium nitrate	27 000	09.0175
3102 80 00	Mixtures of urea and ammonium nitrate in aqueous or ammoniacal solution	583 000	09.0176
3105 20 10, 3105 20 90	Mineral or chemical fertilisers containing the three fertilising elements nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium	360 000	09.0177
3105 30 00	Diammonium hydrogenorthophosphate (diammonium phosphate)	87 000	09.0178
3105 40 00	Ammonium dihydrogenorthophosphate (monoammonium phosphate) and mixtures thereof with diammonium hydrogenorthophosphate (diammonium phosphate)	83 000	09.0179

Next steps are for the Council to approve this regulation before it is implemented and the suspension will be valid on publication in the Official Journal.
