Indian Re-exports Are Key To Chinese Quartz Countertop Products.

On October 9, 2024, the US Department of Commerce once again swung its sword, imposing anti-dumping duties of up to 326.15% on Chinese quartz countertop products, accompanied by countervailing duties of up to 190.99%, in an attempt to completely block Chinese companies from the US market. Faced with this high wall, Chinese companies have found a way around it: Indian re-exports have become a key path to circumventing this barrier, allowing quartz countertop products to smoothly re-enter the US market.

Easily circumventing anti-dumping barriers

A 326.15% tax? Don't worry, Indian re-exports have a trick up their sleeve!
Quartz countertops are experiencing a resurgence in the US market.
Faced with US trade restrictions, Chinese companies have demonstrated remarkable flexibility and ingenuity. Re-exports from India have become a key tool in circumventing anti-dumping and countervailing duties, allowing Chinese quartz countertops to continue entering the US market. While these challenges are significant, they have also spurred innovation in these companies.

Indian transshipment: Easily overcome barriers in three steps.
Step 1: First-leg shipment to India.
Products depart from a Chinese port and are exported to India through normal customs declaration, enjoying China's tax rebate policy and ensuring capital flow.

Step 2: Container transfer and Indian document processing.
Upon arrival in India, the goods are transferred to a new container in the bonded area and documents such as the Indian certificate of origin, invoice, and bill of lading are obtained, preparing the product for transshipment.

Step 3: Second-leg export to the United States.
The transshipped products depart from India and are shipped to the United States. With legitimate Indian documents, customs clearance is smooth, completely bypassing US anti-dumping and countervailing measures against Chinese products.

Flexible response to barriers: market opportunities never cease.
High tariffs haven't stopped Chinese companies from advancing. Indian re-exports have helped them find new opportunities. Leveraging this crucial Indian market, Chinese quartz countertops have not only successfully re-entered the US market but also gained customers and orders through flexible trade strategies. Market opportunities are here to stay; as long as we dare to explore, we can always find a way forward!
While there are market barriers, wisdom always finds a way out. Indian re-exports have allowed Chinese quartz countertops to easily bypass anti-dumping barriers and once again enter the market unimpeded!
