Temporary Waiver of Fertilizer Duties in Emergency Situations
This act allows for the temporary removal of additional fees (duties) on fertilizers and their ingredients if sudden situations hinder their production in the U.S. or cause significant price increases. This aims to protect farmers from high costs and ensure fertilizer availability, which could impact food prices.
Key points
Farmers and agricultural producers can request a waiver of duties on fertilizers when their availability is limited or prices sharply rise due to a crisis.
The duty waiver is for one year and aims to stabilize fertilizer prices, potentially leading to lower food production costs.
The act defines emergency situations, such as natural disasters, wars, strikes, or regulatory changes, that may justify the duty waiver.
