Commerce Department Reviews Quartz Surface Product Imports from India
Estimated reading time: 1–7 minutes
The U.S. Department of Commerce has released preliminary findings regarding the import of certain quartz surface products from India for the review period of June 1, 2024, to May 31, 2025. The Department has found that some Indian exporters sold quartz surfaces in the U.S. market at prices below the normal value, which is known as “dumping.” The companies Cuarzo and Beyyond Rocks Private Limited (collectively known as Cuarzo/Beyyond) have been identified for such sales.
On the contrary, it has been determined that Pokarna Engineered Stone Limited (PESL) did not engage in dumping during the review period. The Department of Commerce is now proposing a new dumping margin of 4.91% for Cuarzo/Beyyond. PESL, however, could maintain a margin of 0.00%, indicating no dumping of its products.
The Department has also decided to rescind the review for 53 companies and plans to rescind it for four more companies, having found either no dumped entries or no entries subject to review during the period. The companies whose cases were rescinded include firms like Global Stones Pvt Ltd. and Pacific Quartz Surfaces LLP.
In accordance with the legal procedures, interested parties are invited to comment on the preliminary results. They have until September 15, 2026, to provide comments, while rebuttal comments are due by September 22, 2026.
The merchandise under review is quartz surface products originating from India. The review started following requests in July 2025, with a selection of Cuarzo and PESL as mandatory respondents in March 2026.
A series of extensions due to government shutdown and backlog pushed the preliminary results announcement to September 8, 2026. The calculated dumping margin will impact future import rates and duties, adjusting based on a calculated sample rate for companies not individually reviewed.
The final results and implications for cash deposits on future imports will be known after the full review, anticipated to conclude within 120 days after this preliminary announcement.
The Commerce Department’s efforts aim to ensure fair trade practices and level competition for U.S. industries affected by unfair pricing strategies from international companies.
