Tariffs on Indian, Turkish Quartz: Quick Review to Shield U.S. Sellers
Published Date: 9/19/2025
Notice
Summary
The government is speeding up reviews to decide if special taxes on quartz surface products from India and Turkey should stay or go. This affects companies importing or selling these products and could change prices or trade rules soon. The reviews will help protect U.S. businesses from unfair competition if needed.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.
Expedited 5‑Year Reviews Scheduled
The U.S. International Trade Commission has scheduled expedited five‑year reviews under the Tariff Act of 1930 to decide whether revoking the antidumping and countervailing duty orders on quartz surface products from India and Turkey would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time. This action directly affects companies that import or sell quartz surface products from India and Turkey because the reviews will determine whether those trade orders remain in place.
Duties May Change Prices or Trade Rules
The expedited reviews will decide whether antidumping and countervailing duties on quartz surface products from India and Turkey stay or are revoked; either outcome could change prices or trade rules for those products. If duties are revoked, importers and sellers could face lower costs; if duties remain, added costs and trade restrictions would continue.
