Federal Register Notice

Madhav Surfaces FZC LLC, a producer of quartz surface products in Oman, opposes the inclusion of Oman-origin imports in the proposed safeguard remedy. They argue that Oman's imports are negligible and do not contribute to the serious injury identified in the investigation, and they request that the President either exclude Oman entirely or apply country-specific quotas based on Oman's actual market presence.

Global Surfaces FZE, a UAE-based producer of quartz surface products, opposes the petitioner's proposed safeguard remedy because it relies on historical import data that does not account for new market entrants like the UAE. The company argues that the President should either exclude UAE-origin imports from the remedy or, alternatively, implement country-specific quotas based on demonstrated production capacity rather than historical trade patterns.

The United Arab Emirates Ministry of Foreign Trade opposes the proposed safeguard remedy as presented by the Quartz Manufacturing Alliance of America. They argue that UAE-origin imports should be excluded because they represent a de minimis share of imports and were not part of the historical trade patterns the petitioner relies on; alternatively, they request a country-specific quota based on production capacity rather than historical volumes.
