Quartz Surface Products — China — A-570-084

“Quartz Surface Products” refers to certain engineered stone or similar surface materials made with quartz or other mineral content, often used for countertops, vanities, and related applications. The exact scope is defined by the official measure and may depend on the product’s composition, physical characteristics, processing, and use—not simply its marketing name or tariff classification.

“AD/CVD” means antidumping and countervailing duties. Antidumping (AD) duties address imports sold at less than fair value under the applicable rules. Countervailing (CVD) duties address benefits that a foreign government provides to producers or exporters. These measures typically affect importers, manufacturers, exporters, and sometimes related parties in the covered supply chain. An importer may need to pay additional duties, provide accurate entry information, and manage possible liability even when a product is described differently on invoices or classified under a different HTSUS number.

What to check

• Read the official scope language and compare it with the product’s materials, construction, dimensions, finishing, and intended use.
• Check the applicable HTSUS classification, but do not treat the tariff number as conclusive; AD/CVD scope controls whether the product is covered.
• Identify the producer, exporter, and country of origin, and verify whether the measure distinguishes among companies or countries.
• Ask your customs broker or trade counsel how to report the entry, calculate any required AD/CVD deposits, and handle scope uncertainty.
• Keep product specifications, bills of materials, supplier statements, origin records, and classification analyses to support your coverage determination.
