Thank you. Could you talk a little bit about the Belarus potash sanctions and maybe compare and contrast that with the earlier U.S. sanctions on phosphates?
Joc O'Rourke -- President and Chief Executive Officer
Yes. Thanks, John. Interestingly enough, I guess, the Belarus sanctions were, I'm going to call them relatively toothless. They didn't have very much bite to them in the basis that they didn't include what were most of the main grades of potash.
I think they only affected about 20% of the industrial potash that Belarus might have sold. So other than slap on the wrist, it really wasn't much of a restriction to the Belarusians. And with food security concerns in the mix, I'm not surprised by that. Compare that to the CVD, which was, I mean, the countervailing duty case was all about unfair subsidies and really taking advantage of those unfair subsidies to impact the market and particularly harm the U.S.
producers. So I think very, very different sort of situations and drivers. But what I would say about the CVD, and I think I've said this in my opening remarks is, now with the CVD, what we're seeing is we're seeing a number of new countries and companies importing into the U.S. And we're seeing the market run at essentially parity to other major markets, which I think is what we expect.
In the case of the Belarusian, I mean, it was simply a political statement to hopefully put pressure on Lukashenko to do something about some of their, well, some of their human rights issues.
