Note: To ensure there is no double counting only U.S. producers (excludes independent fabricators) data
are presented here. U.S. producers’ U.S. shipment value does not include the value added by
independent fabricators due to (1) the dearth of useable questionnaire data received from independent
fabricators in this proceeding, (2) questions as to the correct source of the fabricated merchandise for one
of the two useable independent fabricators, and (3) even assuming the technical issues for the two
responding independent fabricators could be resolved, the volume of their fabrication activities relative to
the size of the market would not result in (i) any material change in the reported overall value of
consumption or U.S. producers’ market shares based on value, nor (ii) accurately reflect the full additional
value provided by fabrication activities writ large in the industry which would involve 2000+ firms and over
the entirety of domestically sold slab since every quartz surface product undergoes fabrication prior to
final usage.
