The case was initiated by the USITC on November 17, 2025, following a request from a consortium of U.S. quartz producers. The petitioners allege that quartz imports increased from 135 million square feet in 2020 to 234 million square feet in 2024, a 73.4% increase, causing significant damage and impact to the U.S. domestic industry.
