U.S. Customs finds attempted evasion of Antidumping/countervailing duties on quartz surface products from China
MINNEAPOLIS, MN – The leading U.S. producer of quartz surface products, Cambria Company LLC (“Cambria”), announces that the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency (“Customs”) has preliminarily determined that fifteen U.S. importers have evaded the antidumping and countervailing duties (“AD/CVD”) on quartz surface products from China.
In April of 2018 Cambria initiated a petition before the Department of Commerce and the United States International Trade Commission alleging unfair trading of quartz surface products from China. At that time, dumped and subsidized Chinese quartz imports harmed American industry and workers by displacing over $1 billion per year of domestic product. Cambria’s successful petition resulted in U.S. Customs levying duties of up to 500% to halt the import of unfairly traded Chinese quartz into the U.S. marketplace.
