Mattresses From Mexico: Initiation of Circumvention Inquiry on the Antidumping Duty Order
Published Date: 2/10/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce is checking if mattresses made with parts from Mexico but finished in the U.S. are sneaking around import rules that add extra taxes. This affects mattress makers and importers, and could mean more duties or changes in how these products are taxed starting February 10, 2026. The investigation was sparked by several big mattress companies and unions wanting fair trade.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Country-wide circumvention inquiry started
The Department of Commerce began a country-wide inquiry on February 10, 2026 to decide whether mattress components exported from Mexico and finished or assembled in the United States are circumventing the antidumping duty order on mattresses from Mexico. If you make, import, or assemble these mattress components, your products are explicitly included in this inquiry.
Suspension of liquidation and cash deposits continue
Commerce directed U.S. Customs and Border Protection to continue suspending liquidation of entries already under suspension and to apply the cash deposit rate that would apply if the product is determined to be covered by the antidumping order. This suspension direction applies in connection with the circumvention inquiry initiated February 10, 2026.
Questionnaires and adverse facts available risk
Commerce will issue quantity-and-value (Q&V) questionnaires to Mexican producers and exporters and will select respondents based on those replies. If a company fails to fully respond to Commerce's information requests, Commerce may apply partial or total facts available under section 776(a) and adverse inferences under section 776(b).
150-day preliminary determination timeline
Commerce intends to issue a preliminary circumvention determination within 150 days from the notice's publication in the Federal Register. The notice was published on February 10, 2026, so the preliminary determination is expected within 150 days of that publication date.
