U.S. Continues Antidumping Duty Order on Mattresses From China
Estimated reading time: 4–6 minutes
The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has announced the continuation of the antidumping duty (AD) order on mattresses from the People’s Republic of China (China). This announcement follows determinations by both Commerce and the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC).
Reason for Continuation
Commerce and the ITC decided that ending the AD order would probably result in more dumped mattresses coming from China. Dumping means selling products at prices lower than in the home market or below the cost of production. The agencies found that if the order ended, U.S. mattress makers could be harmed again.
Background
The AD order on mattresses from China started on December 16, 2019. A required sunset review process began in November 2024. In the review, Commerce found that ending the order would bring back dumping. The ITC decided that this would likely cause harm, called “material injury,” to the U.S. mattress industry.
Which Mattresses Are Covered
The order covers all types of youth and adult mattresses. These must have a “core” for support. The core can be made of springs, foam, or other fillings.
- Adult mattresses must be more than 35 inches wide, 72 inches long, and 3 inches deep. Types include twin, full, queen, king, and California king.
- Youth mattresses must be more than 27 inches wide, 51 inches long, and over 1 inch deep. Crib mattresses can be up to 6 inches deep. Types include crib, toddler, and youth mattresses.
The order applies to innerspring, non-innerspring, and hybrid mattresses. Hybrid mattresses have two or more support types, such as memory foam and springs. Non-innerspring mattresses are made with foam or other fillings.
Mattresses imported by themselves, as part of furniture, or with a mattress foundation are covered. Only the mattress part is covered if it is imported with other furniture or as a set.
Exclusions
Certain items are not covered:
- Futon mattresses (tufted and without innersprings or foam)
- Airbeds and waterbeds (air or liquid-filled beds)
- Certain furniture that turns into beds if the mattress part is built into the furniture and inseparable
- Products already under the order for uncovered innerspring units from China (since 2009)
Product Codes
The products are listed under specific Harmonized Tariff Schedule for the United States (HTSUS) codes. These include 9404.21.0010, 9404.21.0013, 9404.29.1005, 9404.29.1013, 9404.29.9085, 9404.29.9087, and others. The written description is the final guide on what is covered.
What Happens Next
The continuation of the order is effective from May 20, 2025. U.S. Customs will keep collecting antidumping cash deposits at current rates for all covered mattresses from China. Commerce will next review this order in five years.
Reminder on Confidentiality
Commerce reminds all parties with access to confidential information to handle it properly under protection rules.
This notice is published under the relevant laws and regulations. The determination and continuation are signed by Abdelali Elouaradia, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, on May 21, 2025.
