Ceramic Tile Coalition Files Appeal Concerning Indian Tile Pricing

Clemson, SC, May 27, 2025- On May 23, the Coalition for Fair Trade in Ceramic Tile (Coalition) filed with the U.S. Court of International Trade its appeal of the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) determination that ceramic tile from India is not being, or is not likely to be, sold in the United States at less-than-fair-value, as provided in section 733(b) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended.

While Commerce did find that countervailable subsidies are being provided to Indian producers and exporters of ceramic tile by the government of India, the Coalition is also appealing Commerce’s determination of the amount of those tariffs. The Coalition, pursuant to the Court’s rules, will file a complaint detailing its rationale in the coming weeks. 

The filing before the Court follows the May 19, 2025, affirmative and unanimous determination from the United States International Trade Commission that “U.S. industry is threatened with material injury by reason of imports of ceramic tile from India.”
