Corrected Proclamation: Facilitating Positive Adjustment to Competition From Imports of Quartz Surface Products
Provide temporary relief to the domestic quartz surface product industry by imposing tariffs or quotas to address serious injury caused by increased imports, and to facilitate adjustment to import competition.
Bipartisan rationale: This corrected proclamation follows the explicit statutory framework of the Trade Act of 1974, giving both parties the assurance of transparent trade remedies with an automatic sunset, independent ITC oversight, and judicial review. Democrats are protected because the measure includes robust trade adjustment assistance and workers' safeguards, while Republicans are protected because the tariff is temporary, declining, and limited by strict statutory constraints—reducing arbitrary executive power and promoting fair trade over unilateral action.
