Schagrin Associates Secures Unanimous Victory at USITC in China Quartz Case

On June 11, 2019, the U.S. International Trade Commission unanimously voted that the U.S. quartz industry is materially injured by unfair imports of quartz surface products from China. As a result of the vote, the U.S. Department of Commerce will issue antidumping and countervailing duty orders on such imports. The antidumping duties will range from 266% to 337%, and the countervailing duties will range from 45% to 191%.

The antidumping and countervailing duty petitions were brought by Schagrin Associates on behalf of Cambria, a family-owned producer of natural stone surfaces located in Le Sueur, Minnesota.
