Antidumping Taxes Stay on Chinese, Vietnamese Bed Springs for Mattress Defense
Published Date: 4/18/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. government is keeping special taxes on uncovered innerspring units imported from China, Vietnam, and South Africa because stopping them could hurt American mattress makers. These taxes, called antidumping duties, help protect U.S. businesses from unfairly low prices abroad. This decision started on April 3, 2025, and means importers will keep paying these extra fees for now.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Importers Continue Paying AD Cash Deposits
U.S. Customs and Border Protection will continue to collect antidumping (AD) cash deposits for all imports of uncovered innerspring units from the People's Republic of China, the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, and South Africa at the rates in effect at the time of entry. This continuation is effective April 3, 2025.
U.S. Mattress Industry Protected
The Department of Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission determined that revoking the antidumping orders would likely lead to a return of dumping and material injury, and Commerce ordered continuation of the orders to protect the U.S. industry. The Orders remain in effect as of April 3, 2025.
Covered Products and HTSUS Codes Defined
The Orders cover uncovered innerspring units (including pocketed and non-pocketed types) sized for adult mattresses (typically 30.5 to 76 inches wide and 68 to 84 inches long) and crib/youth mattresses (typically 25 to 27 inches wide and 50 to 52 inches long). The notice also lists relevant Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings for these products (for example, 9404.29.9010 and several others).
