US Keeps Taxing Cheap Chinese Mattresses to Save Local Beds
Published Date: 5/28/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. is keeping extra taxes on mattresses made in China because stopping them could let unfairly cheap imports flood the market again. This means mattress sellers from China will still pay these duties, helping protect U.S. mattress makers. The decision is official now and will keep these rules in place for a while.

Chinese Mattress Duties Continue
The U.S. Department of Commerce is continuing the antidumping duty orders on mattresses from the People's Republic of China. That means extra taxes on mattress imports from China remain in place, and Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission found that removing the duties would likely lead to the return of unfairly priced imports. The continuation is now official and keeps those trade protections in effect.
