PART I.—GENERAL INFORMATION
Background. --This proceeding was instituted in response to a petition filed on June 26, 2020, by The
Mosaic Company, Plymouth, Minnesota. Countervailing duties may be assessed on the subject imports
as a result of these proceedings if the Commission makes an affirmative determination of injury, threat,
or material retardation, and if the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) makes an affirmative
determination of subsidization. Questionnaires and other information pertinent to this proceeding are
available at
https://usitc.gov/investigations/701731/2020/phosphate_fertilizers_morocco_and_russia/final.htm.
Phosphate fertilizers covered by these investigations is phosphate fertilizers in all physical forms (i.e.,
solid or liquid form), with or without coating or additives such as anti-caking agents. Phosphate
fertilizers in solid form are covered whether granular, prilled (i.e., pelletized), or in other solid form (e.g.,
powdered).
The covered merchandise includes phosphate fertilizers in the following forms: ammonium
dihydrogenorthophosphate or monoammonium phosphate (MAP), chemical formula NH4H2PO4;
diammonium hydrogenorthophosphate or diammonium phosphate (DAP), chemical formula
(NH4)2HPO4; normal superphosphate (NSP), also known as ordinary superphosphate or single
superphosphate, chemical formula Ca(H2PO4)2ꞏCaSO4; concentrated superphosphate, also known as
double, treble, or triple superphosphate (TSP), chemical formula Ca(H2PO4)2ꞏH2O; and proprietary
formulations of MAP, DAP, NSP, and TSP.
The covered merchandise also includes other fertilizer formulations incorporating phosphorous and
non-phosphorous plant nutrient components, whether chemically-bonded, granulated (e.g., when
multiple components are incorporated into granules through, e.g., a slurry process), or compounded
(e.g., when multiple components are compacted together under high pressure), including nitrogen,
phosphate, sulfur (NPS) fertilizers, nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium (NPK) fertilizers, nitric phosphate
(also known as nitrophosphate) fertilizers, ammoniated superphosphate fertilizers, and proprietary
formulations thereof that may or may not include other nonphosphorous plant nutrient components.
For phosphate fertilizers that contain nonphosphorous plant nutrient components, such as nitrogen,
potassium, sulfur, zinc, or other nonphosphorous components, the entire article is covered, including
the non-phosphorous content, provided that the phosphorous content (measured by available
diphosphorous pentaoxide, chemical formula P2O5) is at least 5% by actual weight.
Phosphate fertilizers that are otherwise subject to this investigation are included when commingled (i.e.,
mixed or blended) with phosphate fertilizers from sources not subject to this investigation. Phosphate
fertilizers that are otherwise subject to this investigation are included when commingled with
substances other than phosphate fertilizers subject to this investigation (e.g., granules containing only
non-phosphate fertilizers such as potash or urea). Only the subject component of such commingled
products is covered by the scope of this investigation. The following products are specifically excluded
from the scope of this investigation:
(1) ABC dry chemical powder preparations for fire extinguishers containing MAP or DAP in powdered
form;
(2) industrial or technical grade MAP in white crystalline form with available P2O5 content of at least
60% by actual weight;
(3) industrial or technical grade diammonium phosphate in white crystalline form with available P2O5
content of at least 50% by actual weight;
(4) liquid ammonium polyphosphate fertilizers;

(5) dicalcium phosphate, chemical formula CaHPO4;
(6) monocalcium phosphate, chemical formula CaH4P2O8;
(7) trisodium phosphate, chemical formula Na3PO4;
(8) sodium tripolyphosphate, chemical formula Na5P3O10;
(9) prepared baking powders containing sodium bicarbonate and any form of phosphate;
(10) animal or vegetable fertilizers not containing phosphate fertilizers otherwise covered by the scope
of this investigation;
(11) phosphoric acid, chemical formula H3PO4.
The Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS) numbers for covered phosphate fertilizers include, but are not
limited to: 7722-76-1 (MAP); 7783-28-0 (DAP); and 65996-95-4 (TSP). The covered products may also be
identified by Nitrogen-Phosphate-Potash composition, including but not limited to: NP 11-52-0 (MAP);
NP 18-46-0 (DAP); and NP 0-46-0 (TSP).
The covered merchandise is currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(HTSUS) at subheadings 3103.11.0000; 3103.19.0000; 3105.20.0000; 3105.30.0000; 3105.40.0010;
3105.40.0050; 3105.51.0000; and 3105.59.0000 (“Primary HTS Statistical Reporting Numbers”).
Phosphate fertilizers subject to this investigation may also enter under subheadings 3103.90.0010,
3105.10.0000, 3105.60.0000, 3105.90.0010, and 3105.90.0050. Although the HTSUS subheadings and
CAS registry numbers are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of
the scope is dispositive.
Reporting of information.--If information is not readily available from your records, provide carefully
prepared estimates. If your firm is completing more than one questionnaire (i.e., a producer, importer,
purchaser and/or foreign producer questionnaire), you need not respond to duplicated questions.
Confidentiality.--The commercial and financial data furnished in response to this questionnaire that
reveal the individual operations of your firm will be treated as confidential by the Commission to the
extent that such data are not otherwise available to the public and will not be disclosed except as may
be required by law (see 19 U.S.C. §1677f). Such confidential information will not be published in a
manner that will reveal the individual operations of your firm; however, general characterizations of
numerical business proprietary information (such as discussion of trends) will be treated as confidential
business information only at the request of the submitter for good cause shown.
Verification.--The information submitted in this questionnaire is subject to audit and verification by the
Commission. To facilitate possible verification of data, please keep all files, worksheets, and supporting
documents used in the preparation of the questionnaire response. Please also retain a copy of the final
document that you submit.
Release of information.--The information provided by your firm in response to this questionnaire, as
well as any other business proprietary information submitted by your firm to the Commission in
connection with this proceeding, may become subject to, and released under, the administrative
protective order provisions of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1677f) and section 207.7 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR § 207.7). This means that certain lawyers and
other authorized individuals may temporarily be given access to the information for use in connection
with this proceeding or other import-injury proceedings conducted by the Commission on the same or
similar merchandise; those individuals would be subject to severe penalties if the information were
divulged to unauthorized individuals.

Valid number error messages.--If you are completing this form in a country that uses periods (“.”) to
delineate multiples of 1000 (e.g., one million would appear as $1.000.000 rather than $1,000,000), you
may be unable to enter in numbers greater than 999 in numeric form fields. The solution to this data
entry issue is to temporarily change your operating system’s number formatting to be consistent with
the U.S. number formatting system while you complete this form. Detailed instructions on how to
resolve this issue is provided at the end of this questionnaire and is available upon request from Calvin
Chang (202-205-3432, [email protected]).

Correcting Valid number error messages.--If you are completing a Commission

questionnaire in a country that uses periods (“.”) to delineate multiples of 1000 (e.g., one million would
appear as $1.000.000 instead of as $1,000,000), you may be unable to enter in numbers greater than
999 in numeric form fields. This issues stem from your computer number formatting setting (e.g., not
the MS Word document itself, but the computer from which you are opening up the document). In the
United States commas (,) delineate multiples of 1000 and periods (.) delineate fractions less than one.
Many EU countries use the reverse where multiples of 1000 are delineated with periods (.) and
fractions less than one are delineated with commas (,). The U.S. International Trade Commission’s
questionnaires are set-up in the United States with the U.S. number formatting. When this formatting
interacts with a computer set to EU number formatting, we believe this may cause this issue.
The solution to this data entry issue is to temporarily change your operating system’s number
formatting to be consistent with the U.S. number formatting system while you complete the
questionnaire.
To temporarily change your computer’s number settings to U.S. settings, please do the following (for
Microsoft Windows Operating system):
•
•
•
•
•

START
Control Panel
Region and Language (under Clock, Language, and Region category)
Format tab
Change the Format from your existing one (e.g. “Italian (Italy)”) to “English (United States)” (see
screen shots below)

When you do this the number “twelve million dollars and thirty-five cents” would change from
$12.000.000,35 (Italy format) to $12,000,000.35 (U.S. format), and then there will be no conflict with
the USITC foreign producer questionnaire form. When you finish reporting the data then you can close
the questionnaire and switch back to Italy settings.

HOW TO FILE YOUR QUESTIONNAIRE RESPONSE
This questionnaire is available as a “fillable” form in MS Word format on the Commission’s website at:
https://usitc.gov/investigations/701731/2020/phosphate_fertilizers_morocco_and_russia/final.htm.
Please do not attempt to modify the format or permissions of the questionnaire
document. Please submit the completed questionnaire using one of the methods noted
below. If your firm is unable to complete the MS Word questionnaire or cannot use one
of the electronic methods of submission, please contact the Commission for further
instructions.
• Upload via Secure Drop Box.—Upload the MS Word questionnaire along with a scanned copy of the
signed certification page (page 1) through the Commission’s secure upload facility:

• E-mail.—E-mail your questionnaire to [email protected]; include a scanned copy of the signed
certification page (page 1). Submitters are strongly encouraged to encrypt nonpublic documents that are
electronically transmitted to the Commission to protect your sensitive information from unauthorized
disclosure. The USITC secure drop-box system and the Electronic Document Information System (EDIS)
use Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-2 cryptographic algorithms to encrypt data in
transit. Submitting your nonpublic documents by a means that does not use these encryption algorithms
(such as by email) may subject your firm’s nonpublic information to unauthorized disclosure during
transmission. If you choose a non-encrypted method of electronic transmission, the Commission warns
you that the risk of such possible unauthorized disclosure is assumed by you and not by the Commission.
If your firm did not produce or export this product, please fill out page 1, print, sign, and submit a
scanned copy to the Commission.
Parties to this proceeding.—If your firm is a party to this proceeding, you are required to serve a copy of
the completed questionnaire on parties to the proceeding that are subject to administrative protective
order (see 19 CFR § 207.7). A list of such parties may be obtained from the Commission’s Secretary (202205-1803). A certificate of service must accompany the completed questionnaire you submit (see 19 CFR
§ 207.7). Service of the questionnaire must be made in paper form.
