Today, the U.S. Department of Commerce announced the affirmative preliminary determinations in the countervailing duty (CVD) investigations of imports of certain quartz surface products from India and Turkey, finding that exporters received countervailable subsidies ranging from de minimis to 4.32 percent for India and 3.81 percent for Turkey.

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured or threatened with material injury by reason of imports of quartz surface products from India and Turkey that are allegedly subsidized and sold in the United States at less than fair value.
