The Lowering Input Costs for American Farmers Act would eliminate tariffs and countervailing duties on phosphate fertilizers imported from Morocco, effective just days after the bill becomes law. The legislation removes trade barriers that were previously imposed under general trade law authority, allowing American farmers to access cheaper fertilizer inputs from this source. Currently, countervailing duties on Moroccan phosphate fertilizers have been in place since April 2021, and the bill would revoke these duties while requiring refunds of any tariff deposits already paid by importers within 90 days. The measure directly affects farmers who use phosphate fertilizers in crop production and aims to reduce their input costs by enabling more affordable imports. The bill was introduced in April 2026 and referred to the House Ways and Means Committee for consideration.
