INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION
[Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1632, 1634, 1635, and 1639 (Final)]
Mattresses From India, Kosovo, Mexico, and Spain; 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 India, Kosovo, Mexico, and Spain,
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'').\2\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\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 59047 (India), 89 FR 59043 (Kosovo), 89 FR 59062
(Mexico), and 89 FR 59059 (Spain), July 22, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Background
The Commission instituted these investigations effective July 28,
2023, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and
Commerce by Brooklyn Bedding LLC, Phoenix, Arizona; Carpenter Company,
Richmond, Virginia; Corsicana Mattress Company, Dallas, Texas; Future
Foam, Inc., Council Bluffs, Iowa; FXI, Inc., Radnor, Pennsylvania;
Kolcraft Enterprises, Inc., Chicago, Illinois; Leggett & Platt,
Incorporated, Carthage, Missouri; Serta Simmons Bedding, Inc.,
Doraville, Georgia; Southerland Inc., Antioch, Tennessee; Tempur Sealy
International, Inc., Lexington, Kentucky; the International Brotherhood
of Teamsters, Washington, DC; and the United Steel, Paper and Forestry,
Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers
International Union, AFL-CIO, Washington, DC. The Commission scheduled
the final phase of the investigations following notification of
preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of mattresses from
Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Burma, India, Italy, Kosovo, Mexico,
Philippines, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, and Taiwan were being sold at
LTFV within the meaning of Sec. 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the
Commission's investigations and of a public hearing to be held in
connection therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the
Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission,
Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register of
March 6, 2024 (89 FR 16026). The Commission conducted its hearing on
May 9, 2024. All persons who requested the opportunity were permitted
to participate.
Although the antidumping duty petitions for mattresses from Bosnia
and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Burma, India, Italy, Kosovo, Mexico,
Philippines, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, and Taiwan were filed on the same
day, July 28, 2023, the investigation schedules became staggered when
Commerce did not align its investigations concerning Bosnia and
Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Burma, Italy, Philippines, Poland, Slovenia, and
Taiwan with its investigations concerning India, Kosovo, Mexico, and
Spain. On June 28, 2024, the Commission issued final affirmative
determinations in its antidumping duty investigations of mattresses
from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Burma, Italy, Philippines,
Poland, Slovenia, and Taiwan (89 FR 55657, July 5, 2024). Following
notification of final determinations by Commerce that imports of
mattresses from India, Kosovo, Mexico, and Spain were being sold at
LTFV within the meaning of section 735(a) of the Act (19 U.S.C.
1673d(a)), notice of the supplemental scheduling of the final phase of
the Commission's antidumping duty investigations concerning India,
Kosovo, Mexico, and Spain was given by posting copies of the notice in
the Office of the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission,
Washington, DC, and by publishing the notice in the Federal Register
(89 FR 60658, July 26, 2024).\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ A countervailing duty petition on mattresses from Indonesia
was also filed on the same day as the antidumping duty petitions
concerning mattresses from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Burma,
India, Italy, Kosovo, Mexico, Philippines, Poland, Slovenia, Spain,
and Taiwan. However, Commerce published a final negative
countervailing duty determination with respect to mattresses from
Indonesia on July 22, 2024 (89 FR 59050). The Commission therefore
terminated its countervailing duty investigation on mattresses from
Indonesia (89 FR 60661, July 26, 2024).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. 735(b)
of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673d(b)). It completed and filed its
determinations in these investigations on August 28, 2024. The views of
the Commission are contained in USITC Publication 5539 (August 2024),
entitled Mattresses from India, Kosovo, Mexico, and Spain:
Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1632, 1634, 1635, and 1639 (Final).
By order of the Commission.
