MATTRESSES FROM BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA, BULGARIA, BURMA, ITALY, PHILIPPINES, POLAND, SLOVENIA, AND TAIWAN, INJURE U.S. INDUSTRY, SAYS USITC

The United States International Trade Commission (USITC) today determined that a U.S. industry is materially injured by reason of imports of mattresses from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Burma, Italy, Philippines, Poland, Slovenia, and Taiwan that the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value.

Chairman David S. Johanson and Commissioners Rhonda K. Schmidtlein, Jason E. Kearns, and Amy A. Karpel voted in the affirmative.  

As a result of the Commission’s affirmative determinations, the U.S. Department of Commerce will issue antidumping duty orders on imports from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Burma, Italy, Philippines, Poland, Slovenia, and Taiwan.

The Commission made an affirmative critical circumstances finding with regard to imports of this product1  from Burma.   The Commission made negative critical circumstances findings with regard to imports of this product from Bosnia, Italy, the Philippines, and Taiwan.2
