U.S. Department of Commerce Maintains Antidumping Duty Orders on Mattresses
Estimated reading time: 3–5 minutes
The U.S. Department of Commerce has completed the expedited first sunset reviews of antidumping duty (AD) orders on mattresses from several countries. These countries are Cambodia, Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand, the Republic of Türkiye, and Vietnam. The reviews aim to determine if revoking these orders would lead to dumping and harming the domestic industry.
The reviews started when Commerce published a notice on April 1, 2026. This notice initiated the reviews of the orders placed on May 14, 2020. Domestic parties, like producers of mattresses in the United States and a certified union, showed their intent to participate in these reviews. They are the ones who requested Commerce to continue with the reviews.
Commerce found that removing the orders would likely lead to dumping again. Dumping means selling products in the U.S. at unfairly low prices. As a result, Commerce decided to keep the antidumping duty orders in place. The intention is to protect U.S. mattress producers from unfair competition from these countries.
Commerce’s analysis shows that the dumping margins—meaning the amount by which the normal value exceeds the export price—are significant. For example, Cambodia has a margin of 103.79 percent and Serbia has a margin of 112.11 percent. Thailand recorded a much higher margin of 763.28 percent, while Vietnam’s margin is 668.38 percent. Malaysia and Türkiye have margins of 42.92 percent and 20.03 percent, respectively.
Commerce’s final decision highlights the possibility of continued dumping if the orders are revoked. This would hurt U.S. mattress producers. Therefore, these orders remain crucial for maintaining fair competition in the market.
This decision is not just about numbers and countries. It affects many people who work in mattress production in the United States. Continued support through these orders ensures that domestic industries remain competitive and can keep providing jobs and products.
The U.S. Department of Commerce took this decision on July 28, 2026, and it is effective from July 31, 2026. Those with administrative protective orders must handle proprietary information carefully, following set regulations.
This outcome illustrates the role of the Department of Commerce in promoting fair trade and protecting U.S. industries. It ensures mattresses sold in the U.S. from these countries do not harm local businesses through unfair pricing.
