Federal Trade Fight Keeps Mattress Taxes on Seven Countries
Published Date: 10/27/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. International Trade Commission decided to keep special taxes on mattresses from Cambodia, China, Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam. These taxes help protect American mattress makers from unfair competition. If these taxes were removed, U.S. mattress businesses could get hurt again soon.
Analyzed Economic Effects
1 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Duties on Imported Mattresses Continue
If you are an American mattress maker, the U.S. International Trade Commission decided on October 22, 2026 to keep special taxes (a countervailing duty order on mattresses from China and antidumping duty orders on mattresses from Cambodia, Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam). The Commission determined that removing these duties would be likely to lead to continuation or recurrence of material injury to a U.S. industry, so the duties remain in place.
