Appendix
Scope of the Investigations
The merchandise covered by the
investigations is certain quartz surface
products. Quartz surface products consist of
slabs and other surfaces created from a
mixture of materials that includes
predominately silica (e.g., quartz, quartz
powder, cristobalite, glass powder) as well as
a resin binder (e.g., an unsaturated polyester).
The incorporation of other materials,
including, but not limited to, pigments,
cement, or other additives does not remove
the merchandise from the scope of the
investigations. However, the scope of the
investigations only includes products where
the silica content is greater than any other
single material, by actual weight. Quartz
surface products are typically sold as
rectangular slabs with a total surface area of
approximately 45 to 60 square feet and a
nominal thickness of one, two, or three
centimeters. However, the scope of these
investigations includes surface products of
all other sizes, thicknesses, and shapes. In
addition to slabs, the scope of these
investigations includes, but is not limited to,
other surfaces such as countertops,
backsplashes, vanity tops, bar tops, work
tops, tabletops, flooring, wall facing, shower
surrounds, fire place surrounds, mantels, and
tiles. Certain quartz surface products are
covered by the investigations whether
polished or unpolished, cut or uncut,
fabricated or not fabricated, cured or
uncured, edged or not edged, finished or
unfinished, thermoformed or not
thermoformed, packaged or unpackaged, and
regardless of the type of surface finish.
In addition, quartz surface products are
covered by the investigations whether or not
they are imported attached to, or in
conjunction with, non-subject merchandise
such as sinks, sink bowls, vanities, cabinets,
and furniture. If quartz surface products are
imported attached to, or in conjunction with,
such non-subject merchandise, only the
quartz surface product is covered by the
scope.
Subject merchandise includes material
matching the above description that has been
finished, packaged, or otherwise fabricated in
a third country, including by cutting,
polishing, curing, edging, thermoforming,
attaching to, or packaging with another
product, or any other finishing, packaging, or
fabrication that would not otherwise remove
the merchandise from the scope of the
investigations if performed in the country of
manufacture of the quartz surface products.
The scope of the investigations does not
cover quarried stone surface products, such
as granite, marble, soapstone, or quartzite.
Specifically excluded from the scope of the
investigations are crushed glass surface
products. Crushed glass surface products
must meet each of the following criteria to
qualify for this exclusion: (1) The crushed
glass content is greater than any other single
material, by actual weight; (2) there are
pieces of crushed glass visible across the
surface of the product; (3) at least some of the
individual pieces of crushed glass that are
visible across the surface are larger than 1
centimeter wide as measured at their widest
cross-section (‘‘Glass Pieces’’); and (4) the
distance between any single Glass Piece and
the closest separate Glass Piece does not
exceed three inches.
The products subject to the scope are
currently classified in the Harmonized Tariff
Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) under
the following subheading: 6810.99.0010.
Subject merchandise may also enter under
subheadings 6810.11.0010, 6810.11.0070,
6810.19.1200, 6810.19.1400, 6810.19.5000,
6810.91.0000, 6810.99.0080, 6815.99.4070,
2506.10.0010, 2506.10.0050, 2506.20.0010,
2506.20.0080, and 7016.90.1050. The HTSUS
subheadings set forth above are provided for
convenience and U.S. Customs purposes
only. The written description of the scope is
dispositive.
