The U.S. International Trade Commission (Commission or USITC) today determined that quartz surface products are being imported into the United States in such increased quantities as to be a substantial cause of serious injury to the domestic industry producing products like or directly competitive with the imported products.

The determination was made in the context of an investigation initiated on November 17, 2025, under section 202 of the Trade Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. § 2252) in response to a petition filed by 

Quartz Manufacturing Alliance of America (QMAA). Information about this investigation and global safeguard investigations is available in the fact sheet. 

The Commission’s determination resulted from a 2-1 vote. Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioner Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative. Commissioner David S. Johanson voted in the negative. 

As a result of today’s vote, the Commission will proceed to the remedy phase of the investigation. The Commission will hold a public hearing on remedy on April 14, 2026. The Commission will submit its report containing its injury determination, remedy recommendations, certain additional findings, and the basis for them to the President by May 18, 2026.

When the Commission makes an affirmative injury determination in a global safeguard investigation, it is required to make certain additional findings under the statutes implementing certain free trade agreements (FTAs). 

Pursuant to these statutes, the Commission finds that imports of quartz surface products from neither Canada nor Mexico account for a substantial share of total imports or contribute importantly to the serious injury caused by imports. It also finds that imports of quartz surface products from each other FTA partner country, individually, are not a substantial cause of serious injury or threat thereof.

These findings will be forwarded to the President as part of the Commission’s report.

The President, not the Commission, will make the final decision concerning whether to provide relief to the U.S. industry and the kind of relief to provide, including with respect to imports from FTA countries. 

A public report concerning this investigation will be available after the Commission submits its findings and recommendations to the President; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at the Commission’s Publications Library. 

Status of proceedings, links to relevant documents, and more information for this investigation can be found at the Commission’s Investigations Database System (IDS).

The U.S. International Trade Commission(Commission or USITC) today determined that revoking the existing countervailing duty order on steel concrete reinforcing bar (“rebar”) from Turkey and revoking the existing antidumping duty order on imports of rebar from Mexico would likely lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury within a reasonably foreseeable time.

Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns voted in the affirmative. 

Today’s action comes under the five-year (sunset) review process required by the Uruguay Round Agreements Act. See the attached page for background on these five-year (sunset) reviews.

BACKGROUND

The Uruguay Round Agreements Act requires the Department of Commerce to revoke an antidumping or countervailing duty order, or terminate a suspension agreement, after five years unless the Department of Commerce and the USITC determine that revoking the order or terminating the suspension agreement would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of dumping or subsidies (Commerce) and of material injury (USITC) within a reasonably foreseeable time. 

The Commission’s institution notice in five-year reviews requests that interested parties file responses with the Commission concerning the likely effects of revoking the order under review as well as other information. Generally, within 95 days from institution, the Commission will determine whether the responses it has received reflect an adequate or inadequate level of interest in a full review. If responses to the USITC’s notice of institution are adequate, or if other circumstances warrant a full review, the Commission conducts a full review, which includes a public hearing and issuance of questionnaires.

The Commission generally does not hold a hearing or conduct further investigative activities in expedited reviews. Commissioners base their injury determination in expedited reviews on the facts available, including the Commission’s prior injury and review determinations, responses received to its notice of institution, data collected by staff in connection with the reviews, and information provided by the Department of Commerce.

The five-year (sunset) reviews concerning Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bar from Mexico and Turkey were instituted on September 1, 2025.

On January 26, 2026, the Commission determined to conduct expedited five-year reviews. Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioners David S. Johanson and Jason E. Kearns concluded that the domestic interested party group response was adequate, and the respondent interested party group response was inadequate, and voted for an expedited review of the order on Turkey.  Chair Amy A. Karpel and Commissioner Jason E. Kearns concluded that the domestic interested party group response was adequate, and the respondent interested party group response was inadequate, and voted for an expedited review of the order on Mexico. Commissioner David S. Johanson concluded that the domestic interested party group response was adequate, and the respondent interested party group response was adequate, and voted for a full review of the order on Mexico. The Commission determined to conduct expedited five-year reviews. 

A record of the Commission’s vote to conduct expedited reviews is available on the investigations page for  Steel Concrete Reinforcing Bar from Mexico and Turkey; Inv. Nos. 701-TA-502 and 731-TA-1227 (Second Review).
