U.S. Customs Finds Evasion of Antidumping/Countervailing Duties on Quartz Surface Products From China
MINNEAPOLIS, MN – U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“Customs”) has determined the existence of an illegal scheme by 15 importers to evade existing tariffs and sell quartz surface products originating from China under The Enforce and Protect Act (“EAPA”). Ultimately, every one of these importers will have to pay tariffs in excess of 300% to 500% on the imported goods.
Through its investigation, Customs has found substantial evidence that the following importers imported quartz surface products from China into the United States by undervaluation, misclassification, and/or transshipment through Malaysia and therefore attempted to avoid the payment of existing antidumping and countervailing duties (“AD/CVD”).
