19 Aug 2025 Allied Stone Inc.Allied Stone: 12.4 million USD – Chinese quartz declared as marble or glass €10.6m
The Dallas-based supplier of countertops allegedly declared Chinese quartz surface products between 2018 and 2023 as goods subject to lower duties, such as marble or crystallised glass, and evaded anti-dumping and countervailing duties, including by using third parties as importers of record. The settlement of 12.4 million USD (a joint payment with a further settling party) resolves a whistleblower lawsuit.
Do not rely on third parties acting as importer – you remain liable for the correct description of the goods; customs responsibility cannot be outsourced.
