Quartz from India Faces Ongoing US Tariff Wall
Published Date: 8/28/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep the extra taxes on quartz surface products from India because removing them could lead to unfair low prices again. This means importers and sellers will still pay these duties to keep things fair for U.S. businesses. The decision helps protect American companies from cheap imports starting now and going forward.
Analyzed Economic Effects

Antidumping Duties Remain on Indian Quartz
