U.S. Cracks Down on Cheap Malaysian Mattresses Dumping
Published Date: 4/15/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Malaysian mattress makers sold their products in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from May 2024 to April 2025. They’re stopping the review for companies that didn’t ship mattresses during this time but will keep checking others. This could affect import duties and costs starting April 15, 2026, so mattress businesses and buyers should pay attention!

Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 3 costs, 1 mixed.
Six Exporters Assigned 42.92% Duty
Commerce preliminarily assigned a 42.92 percent estimated dumping margin (AFA) to six Malaysian mattress exporters — CS Vision Supply SDN BHD, Orient GIC Global, Pinnacle Salute SDN BHD, Premier High Ventures, Lion YTT World, and Weld Tack Industries — for sales during May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025. This 42.92% rate is the rate Commerce applied as adverse facts available and is listed in the preliminary results announced April 15, 2026.
Cash Deposit Rates Set for Imports
Commerce states that, upon publication of the final results of this review, cash deposit requirements for mattress imports from Malaysia will take effect for shipments entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the final-results publication date. Specifically: (1) the cash deposit rate for the six AFA companies will equal the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results; (2) company-specific rates from prior completed segments remain for exporters covered in prior segments; (3) if the exporter is not covered but the producer is, the producer's company-specific rate applies; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to be 42.92 percent.
Importers Must Certify Duty Reimbursement
Importers are reminded they must file a certificate about whether antidumping duties were reimbursed prior to liquidation of relevant entries for the period May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025. If an importer fails to file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement and may assess double antidumping duties.
Partial Rescission for Eight Firms
Commerce rescinded the administrative review for eight Malaysian companies (listed in Appendix III) because there were no entries of subject merchandise during the period May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025. Commerce notified interested parties of this partial rescission on February 2, 2026, and published the preliminary results April 15, 2026.
Assessment Timing and Liquidation Hold Rules
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by the review after the final results are issued. Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results, and, if a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the instructions will tell CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the period for a statutory injunction has expired (within 90 days of publication).
