Özet

On May 15, 2026, the Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR), on behalf of the Trade Policy Staff Committee (TPSC), published in the Federal Register a process by which domestic producers, importers, exporters, and other interested parties may submit views and evidence on the appropriateness of the safeguard measure recommended by the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) with respect to its determination that quartz surface products (QSP) are being imported into the United States in such increased quantities as to be a substantial cause of serious injury, or the threat thereof, to the domestic industry producing an article that is like or directly competitive with the imported article. Because of technical difficulties associated with posting documents to the docket, USTR is extending the deadline for filing responses to the initial round of comments until June 10, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. EST. In addition, USTR is notifying interested parties of the start time for the public hearing.
