U.S. Commerce Department Finds Dumping of Ceramic Tile from China Likely to Continue
Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes
Background
The antidumping duty order on ceramic tile from China was first published on June 1, 2020. In May 2025, the Commerce Department began its first sunset review of this order as required by law.
The Coalition for Fair Trade in Ceramic Tile, a group of U.S. manufacturers, producers, or wholesalers, submitted a notice to participate in this review before the deadline. The group also provided a full response with information and arguments. No responses came from any Chinese companies.
Review Process
Because there were no responses from the other side, the Commerce Department ran an expedited review, which takes 120 days.
The review considered whether removing the antidumping duty order would lead to more dumping of ceramic tiles from China.
Scope of the Order
The order covers ceramic tile from China. More details on what is covered are in the full decision memo, which is available online.
Findings
The Commerce Department found that canceling the order would likely lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping. Dumping means selling products in the U.S. at prices below fair value.
The Department determined that if the order is revoked, weighted average dumping margins could be as high as 356.02 percent.
Other Information
Parties who got special access to information in this review must follow rules for returning, destroying, or converting protected information.
These results were issued in line with the law and regulations.
