EU launches anti-dumping investigation for Russian urea

The European Union today launched an investigation into imports of urea from Russia, following a complaint by industry association Fertilizers Europe.

The complaint, issued on 11 August, alleged that "artificially" cheap Russian natural gas enables the country to produce urea at a lower cost, which is then being "dumped" into the EU market. The association argues that such actions hurt European producers by reducing their market share and lowering market price levels.

The European Commission will investigate products classified under the CN codes 31021012, 31021015, 31021019 and 31021090, which includes granular and prilled urea as well as urea in aqueous solution.

The investigation will look at the imports of the considered products between 1 July 2024 and 30 June 2025. The EU imported 2.1mn t of urea from Russian during this period, almost half of which went to Poland, GTT data show.

Argus understands that neither Yara or OCI are complainants.

Russian urea imported into the EU is currently subject to a 6.5pc tariff, plus a €40/t additional levy imposed since 1 July this year
