Chinese quartz countertops carry 169.78% antidumping plus 178.99% countervailing plus 25% Section 301. India is the closest alternative at FOB $10 to $18 per slab with only 3.19% AD on most exporters.

The US antidumping and countervailing duty order on quartz surface products from China became effective July 11, 2019 after the International Trade Commission found Chinese-origin agglomerated quartz slabs were dumped at margins above 300 percent. The order was continued July 11, 2024 after a 5-year sunset review. The all-others combined rate is 348.77 percent: 169.78 percent antidumping plus 178.99 percent countervailing. Section 301 List 3 adds 25 percent on top under HTS 6810.99. There is no column-one standard duty on quartz, so the duty stack runs about 374 percent of FOB for most Chinese exporters. India is the natural alternative: a separate antidumping order from June 2020 set rates ranging from 0 to 15 percent depending on exporter, with most Indian factories under 5 percent. Vietnam at FOB $12 to $22 per slab and Spain at $20 to $35 per slab round out the practical alternatives. Run your specific FOB through the calculator to see the per-slab landed cost.

Methodology and data sources
Rates come from the most recent Federal Register continuation orders (2024 to 2026) for ceramic and porcelain tile, quartz surface products, and wooden cabinets and vanities from China. Section 301 List 3 follows USTR rules (plus 25 percent on most building materials). Standard duty comes from the USITC Harmonized Tariff Schedule 2026 at HTS 6907.21 (tile), 6810.99 (quartz), and 9403.40 (cabinets and vanities).
Alternative-country FOB ranges are anonymised midpoints from Q1 to Q2 2026 quotes collected from Nexo verified suppliers across Vietnam, India, Mexico, Italy, Spain, and Indonesia. Mexico is computed at 0 percent duty under USMCA where the rule of origin is satisfied.
CRITICAL: Cash deposit rates are exporter-specific. The calculator uses the "all-others rate" published in each continuation order. Confirm the supplier-specific cash deposit rate at USITC, or work with a licensed customs broker, before committing capital. Estimates are NOT legal or customs advice.

Frequently asked questions
What is the current antidumping rate on quartz countertops from China?
The all-others antidumping rate is 169.78 percent and the countervailing rate is 178.99 percent, combined 348.77 percent. Cooperative exporters secured slightly lower individual rates during the original investigation, but the PRC-wide entity rate is significantly higher.
Is Indian quartz also subject to antidumping?
Yes. A separate AD order on Indian quartz became effective June 9, 2020 with rates between 0 and 15 percent. Most Indian exporters fall under 5 percent, so even with AD applied the landed cost is far below Chinese quartz. Verify your specific supplier rate at USITC.
What HTS code applies to quartz countertops?
HTS 6810.99 covers agglomerated stone slabs where quartz is more than 50 percent by weight. The scope of the AD/CVD order specifies surface products including kitchen and bath countertops, vanity tops, and architectural slabs.
Are natural quartz slabs subject to the same duty?
No. The AD/CVD order specifically covers engineered or agglomerated quartz, not natural quartzite. Natural quartzite slabs from Brazil, India, or other origins fall under different HTS codes (6802) and are not subject to the China AD/CVD order. Verify the scope language for your specific product before classifying.
