Summary: Lotte Chemical California, Inc. (LCCA) opposes the proposed global Section 201 safeguard on quartz surface products, arguing that it would cause significant downstream harm to U.S. fabricators and consumers. The company advocates for using ongoing Section 301 proceedings to address China-driven overcapacity instead, or alternatively, implementing country-specific tariff-rate quotas (TRQs) and product-specific exclusions.
On behalf of Lotte Chemical California, Inc. (“LCCA”), and pursuant to the request of the Office of the United States Trade Representative (“USTR”), we hereby submit the attached public response comments addressing comments made by petitioner and domestic QSP industry fabricators.
