The U.S. President has imposed a safeguard measure on imports of quartz surface products (QSP), classified under HTSUS subheadings 6810.99.0020, 6810.99.0040, and 7020.00.6000. The measure, effective August 15, 2026, includes a tariff-rate quota lasting four years with annual adjustments to duties. The International Trade Commission (ITC) determined increased QSP imports caused serious injury to domestic industries. Exclusions apply to imports from Canada, Mexico, Australia, CAFTA-DR countries, Colombia, Israel, Republic of Korea, Panama, Peru, Singapore, and CBERA beneficiaries. Developing countries with less than 3% import share are excluded unless thresholds are exceeded. The President may modify or terminate the measure based on WTO consultations or changing conditions. The action aims to help domestic industries adjust to import competition.
