The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that there is a reasonable indication that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of mattresses from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam that are allegedly sold in the United States at less than fair value and subsidized by the government of China.
Chairman David S. Johanson and Commissioners Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, Jason E. Kearns, Randolph J. Stayin, and Amy A. Karpel voted in the affirmative.
As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will continue with its antidumping and countervailing duty investigations concerning imports of this product from Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam with its preliminary countervailing duty determination due on or about June 24, 2020, and its antidumping duty determinations due on or about September 8, 2020.
The Commission’s public report Mattresses from Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam (Inv. Nos. 701-TA-645 and 731-TA-1495-1501 (Preliminary), USITC Publication 5059, May 2020) will contain the views of the Commission and information developed during the investigations.
In the AD investigations, Commerce will determine whether imports of mattresses from these seven countries are being dumped in the U.S. market at less than fair value. The alleged dumping margins are as follows:
- 326.497 – 675.83 percent for Cambodia;
- 213.44 – 429.74 percent for Indonesia;
- 42.92 percent for Malaysia;
- 57.37 – 183.16 percent for Serbia;
- 414.77 – 763.28 percent for Thailand;
- 267.55 – 609.51 percent for Turkey; and,
- 481.72 – 989.90 percent for Vietnam.
The report will be available after June 12, 2020; when available, it may be accessed on the USITC website at: https://www.usitc.gov/commission_publications_library.
