Importers Keep Paying Duties
If you import quartz surface products from China, the countervailing duty and antidumping duty orders remain in place as of January 17, 2025. That means companies importing these products will continue to pay extra fees on those imports.
U.S. Quartz Makers Protected
If you make quartz surface products in the United States, the Commission found on January 17, 2025 that removing the duty orders would likely cause material injury, so the duties will stay in place to protect U.S. industry. The decision is intended to preserve competitive conditions for U.S. producers.
