Published Date: 9/14/2026

Notice

Summary

The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that Cuarzo and Beyyond Rocks Private Limited (Beyyond) (collectively, Cuarzo/Beyyond) made sales of subject merchandise at less than normal value (NV) during the period of review (POR), June 1, 2024, through May 31, 2025. Additionally, Commerce preliminarily determines that Pokarna Engineered Stone Limited (PESL) did not make sales of subject merchandise at less than NV during the POR. Furthermore, we are rescinding the review with respect to 53 companies and intend to rescind the review with respect to four companies. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results of review.

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 1 mixed.

Importer Duty Reimbursement Certificate Requirement

Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping and/or countervailing duties before liquidation of relevant entries under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If an importer does not comply, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and may assess double antidumping duties and/or increase duties by the amount of any countervailing duties.

Preliminary Antidumping Margins Announced

For the review period June 1, 2024 through May 31, 2025, Commerce preliminarily found Cuarzo and Beyyond Rocks Private Limited had a dumping margin of 4.91 percent and Pokarna Engineered Stone Limited had a 0.00 percent margin. Commerce also preliminarily assigned a 4.91 percent sample rate to companies not selected for individual review. These are preliminary results announced September 14, 2026 and may change in the final results.

Cash Deposit Rules for Future Shipments

Commerce says the cash deposit requirements set after the final results will apply to all subject quartz surface shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results. The default all-others cash deposit rate from the original investigation remains 1.02 percent, and rates under 0.50 percent are treated as de minimis and set to zero.

Rescission for Companies With No Suspended Entries

Commerce is rescinding the review for 53 companies listed in Appendix III and intends to rescind the review for four companies because there were no reviewable, suspended entries during the period June 1, 2024–May 31, 2025. For companies with rescinded reviews, Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties at the cash deposit rate in effect at the time of entry; rescission instructions will be issued no earlier than 35 days after publication of this notice (publication: September 14, 2026).

How Assessment Rates Will Be Calculated

If a respondent's final dumping margin is not zero or de minimis, Commerce intends to calculate importer-specific assessment rates based on the ratio of total dumping for examined sales to the total entered value of those sales; if entered values are missing, a per-unit rate based on quantity may be used. If a respondent's weighted-average margin is zero or de minimis (less than 0.50 percent), Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate relevant entries without regard to antidumping duties.
