Five-Year Sunset Reviews Instituted for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Orders on Mattresses from Seven Countries

The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) has formally instituted five-year sunset reviews of trade remedy orders covering mattresses imported from seven countries: Cambodia, China, Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam. Specifically, the review covers one countervailing duty (CVD) order against mattresses from China, and antidumping duty (ADD) orders against mattresses from the remaining six countries. Under the Tariff Act of 1930 (as amended), these sunset reviews are mandatory proceedings conducted every five years to determine whether revoking the existing duty orders would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of material injury to the U.S. domestic mattress industry. If the ITC finds that revocation would likely cause injury, the orders remain in effect. Interested parties — including domestic producers, importers, exporters, and trade associations — are required to respond to the ITC's notice by submitting specific information as outlined by the Commission. Failure to participate may result in the Commission relying on available facts, which could disadvantage non-participating parties. The outcome of these reviews will determine whether the existing import duties on mattresses from these seven countries will be extended for another five years or terminated, with significant implications for U.S. mattress manufacturers, importers, and retailers.
