Notice of Determination as to Evasion for EAPA Case 7838 – Quartz Surface Products

WASHINGTON – On August 19, 2024, CBP issued the notice of determination as to evasion for EAPA case 7838 filed by Cambria Company LLC, against U.S. importers Musa Stone Import, Inc. and KMGK, LLC dba KMG Marble and Granite (KMGK), for evasion of AD/CVD orders A-570-084 and C-570-085 on quartz surface products from China. Specifically, evidence on the record indicates that Musa Stone Import, Inc. and KMGK transshipped Chinese-origin quartz surface products through Thailand and the Philippines. CBP has determined that there is substantial evidence of evasion of AD/CVD duties by Musa Stone Import, Inc. and KMGK and, therefore, CBP issued a formal notice of determination as to evasion and has taken enforcement actions.

In light of CBP’s findings, CBP will:

• CBP will suspend or continue to suspend the entries covered by this investigation, until instructed to liquidate.
• For those entries previously extended in accordance with Interim Measures, CBP will rate adjust and change those entries to type 03 and continue suspension until instructed to liquidate these entries.
• CBP will continue to evaluate Musa Stone Import, Inc.’s and KMGK’s continuous bonds in accordance with CBP’s policies.
