Quartz Surface Products — India — C-533-890

A US trade measure for "Quartz Surface Products" labeled AD/CVD concerns imported goods that may be subject to antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) rules. Antidumping duties address imports sold in the US at unfairly low prices, while countervailing duties address benefits, or subsidies, provided by a foreign government. These duties are separate from ordinary customs duty and may be collected in addition to it.

The measure typically affects importers of covered quartz-based slabs, panels, countertops, or similar surface products from specified countries or producers. Coverage depends on the legal product description, country of origin, and sometimes the manufacturer or exporter—not simply on a product name or its tariff classification. Importers may face additional duty liability, entry documentation requirements, and later adjustments when US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) finalizes the amount owed. Confirming scope and classification with official sources or a qualified customs professional is important.

What to check

• Read the measure’s scope description and exclusions, then compare it with the product’s materials, dimensions, construction, and intended use.
• Confirm the product’s country of origin and identify the manufacturer, exporter, and producer; AD/CVD coverage can vary by country and company.
• Verify the HTSUS classification, but do not rely on the tariff number alone; the written scope controls whether the goods are covered.
• Check the applicable AD/CVD instructions, cash-deposit requirements, entry documentation, and bonding obligations with CBP or your customs broker.
• Keep product specifications, supplier records, invoices, and origin documents that support your scope and classification analysis; seek broker or trade counsel review for uncertain products.
