INTERNATIONAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-645 and 731-TA-1495-1501 (Final)]


Mattresses From Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Serbia, 
Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam

Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by 
reason of imports of mattresses from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, 
Serbia, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam, provided for in subheadings 
9404.21.00, 9404.29.10, 9404.29.90, 9401.40.00, and 9401.90.50 of the 
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that have been found 
by the U.S. Department of Commerce (``Commerce'') to be sold in the 
United States at less than fair value (``LTFV''), and by reason of 
imports of mattresses from China that have been found by Commerce to be 
subsidized by the government of China.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ The record is defined in Sec.  207.2(f) of the Commission's 
Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR 207.2(f)).

Background

    The Commission instituted these investigations effective March 31, 
2020, following receipt of petitions filed with the Commission and 
Commerce by Brooklyn Bedding (Phoenix, Arizona), Corsicana Mattress 
Company (Dallas, Texas), Elite Comfort Solutions (Newnan, Georgia), 
FXI, Inc. (Media, Pennsylvania), Innocor, Inc. (Media, Pennsylvania), 
Kolcraft Enterprises, Inc. (Chicago, Illinois), Leggett & Platt, 
Incorporated (Carthage, Missouri), the International Brotherhood of 
Teamsters (Washington, DC), and United Steel, Paper and Forestry, 
Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers 
International Union, AFL-CIO (Washington, DC). The final phase of the 
investigations was scheduled by the Commission following notification 
of preliminary determinations by Commerce that imports of mattresses 
from China were subsidized within the meaning of section 703(b) of the 
Act (19 U.S.C. 1671b(b)) and imports of mattresses from Cambodia, 
Indonesia, Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam were sold at 
LTFV within the meaning of 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). 
Notice of the scheduling of the final phase of the Commission's 
investigations and of a public hearing to be held in connection 
therewith was given by posting copies of the notice in the Office of 
the Secretary, U.S. International Trade Commission, Washington, DC, and 
by publishing the notice in the Federal Register on November 27, 2020 
(85 FR 76105). In light of the restrictions on access to the Commission 
building due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commission conducted its 
hearing through written testimony and video conference on March 18, 
2020. All persons who requested the opportunity were permitted to 
participate.
    The Commission made these determinations pursuant to Sec. Sec.  
705(b) and 735(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1671d(b) and 19 U.S.C. 
1673d(b)). It completed and filed its determinations in these 
investigations on May 10, 2021. The views of the Commission are 
contained in USITC Publication 5191 (May 2021), entitled Mattresses 
from Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand, Turkey, 
and Vietnam: Investigation Nos. 701-TA-645 and 731-TA-1495-1501 
(Final).

    By order of the Commission.
