INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1629-1631, 1633, 1636-1638, and 1640
(Final)]
Mattresses From Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Burma, Italy,
Philippines, Poland, Slovenia, and Taiwan; Determinations
On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the
Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by
reason of imports of mattresses from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria,
Burma, Italy, Philippines, Poland, Slovenia, and Taiwan, provided for
in subheadings 9404.21.00, 9404.29.10, and 9404.29.90 of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule of the United States, that have been found by the U.S.
Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the United States
at less than fair value (``LTFV'').<SUP>2 3</SUP>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ The record is defined in Sec. 207.2(f) of the Commission's
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).
\2\ 89 FR 42448 (Bosnia and Herzegovina), 89 FR 42443
(Bulgaria), 89 FR 42427 (Burma), 89 FR 42429 (Italy), 89 FR 42432
(Philippines), 89 FR 42435 (Poland), 89 FR 42437 (Slovenia), 89 FR
42439 (Taiwan), May 15, 2024.
\3\ The Commission finds that imports subject to Commerce's
affirmative critical circumstances determinations on Burma are
likely to undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping
duty order. Commissioner David S. Johanson dissents with respect to
the Commission's affirmative critical circumstances finding on
imports of mattresses from Burma. The Commission also finds that
imports subject to Commerce's affirmative critical circumstances
determinations on Bosnia and Herzegovina, Italy, Philippines, and
Taiwan are not likely to undermine seriously the remedial effect of
the antidumping duty orders. Commissioner Jason E. Kearns dissents
with respect to the Commission's negative critical circumstances
finding on imports of mattresses from Bosnia and Herzegovina.
