In response, the Save Quartz Jobs coalition expressed concern about the decision’s potential impact on the domestic industry.

“Thousands of small businesses across the country — including fabricators that form the backbone of today’s U.S. quartz industry — are disappointed in today’s decision by the U.S. International Trade Commission,” the coalition said in a statement. “This determination puts at risk a vibrant domestic manufacturing ecosystem that supports more than 100,000 U.S. jobs.”

The coalition warned that restricting imports, which it says account for nearly 90% of the U.S. quartz surface products market, could have widespread economic consequences.

“Imposing tariffs or quotas on imported quartz surface products … would disrupt supply chains, create shortages, and increase costs for American fabricators, builders and other small businesses across the country,” the statement said. “Those costs would ultimately be passed on to American families at a time when consumers are already facing rising prices and affordability is under significant strain.”

The group is urging the commission to consider the broader impact as it evaluates potential remedies.

“As the Commission considers what remedies, if any, to recommend to the president, the Save Quartz Jobs coalition urges commissioners to carefully weigh the real-world consequences of tariffs or quotas and protect the broader domestic quartz manufacturing industry, American builders and everyday American consumers,” the statement said.

The April 14 hearing will focus on determining what actions, if any, the commission should recommend following its initial finding.
