America's Mattress Spring Wars Continue Against Three Countries
Published Date: 1/7/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce decided to keep the antidumping duties on uncovered innerspring units from China, Vietnam, and South Africa because removing them could lead to unfairly low prices again. This means importers from these countries will still pay extra fees starting January 7, 2025, protecting U.S. mattress makers like Leggett and Platt. So, no dumping discounts here—just fair trade to keep the market balanced!

Antidumping Duties Stay in Place
If you import uncovered innerspring units from China, Vietnam, or South Africa, the U.S. Department of Commerce kept the antidumping duty orders in effect as of January 7, 2025. Commerce found that dumping would likely continue and identified weighted-average dumping margins up to 234.51% for China, 121.39% for South Africa, and 116.31% for Vietnam, meaning these imports remain subject to large antidumping duties.
