Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission decided to keep special taxes on quartz surface products from India and Turkey. This means American companies making these products stay protected from unfairly cheap imports that could hurt their business. The decision was finalized in December 2025 and signals ongoing support for U.S. industry jobs and sales.
Analyzed Economic Effects

U.S. Quartz Makers Kept Protected
If you run a U.S. company that makes quartz surface products, the Commission decided on December 16, 2025 to keep the existing antidumping and countervailing duty orders in place. The decision says revoking the orders would likely lead to material injury to the U.S. industry, so the duties remain to protect U.S. jobs and sales.
Duties Continue on India/Turkey Imports
If you import quartz surface products from India or Turkey, the special taxes (antidumping and countervailing duties) will remain in effect following the Commission's December 16, 2025 determinations. Importers of these products will continue to face those duties on shipments from India and Turkey.
