As the Donald Trump administration continues to find ways to impose tariffs, India has approached the World Trade Organization (WTO) seeking consultations with the US over Washington’s tariff-rate quota on imports of quartz surface products. The measure took effect on August 15 and is set to remain in force for four years.

India exported around $380 million worth of quartz surface products to the US in FY26. The US has identified India, Vietnam, Spain and Thailand as major exporters of these products.
