Cambodia Mattresses: Amended Final Determination in AD Investigation

The Commerce Department is amending the amended final determination in the less-than-fair-value investigation on mattresses from Cambodia (A555-001), covering the period Jan. 1, 2019, through Dec. 31, 2019, based on the May 16 final decision in a court case challenging the amended final determination. To satisfy the Court of International Trade, Commerce recalculated the weighted-average dumping margin for Best Mattresses/Rose Lion, and that resulted in the margin changing from 52.4% to 103.79%. Because of that change, the dumping margin applicable to all other companies also changed from 52.41% to 103.79%.

That new rate is applicable May 26.

Because Best Mattresses/Rose Lion doesn't have a superseding cash deposit rate (i.e., there have been no final results published in a subsequent administrative review of Best Mattresses/Rose Lion) and because of the change to the dumping margin assigned to all other producers and/or exporters of subject merchandise, Commerce said in a June 13 notice that will instruct CBP to collect cash deposits at the rates equal to the company-specific and all-others estimated weighted-average dumping margins described above.

The notice also said that Commerce remains, at this time, "enjoined by CIT order from liquidating entries that were produced and/or exported by Best Mattresses/Rose Lion, and were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on and after November 3, 2020, excluding any merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on May 2, 2021, through May 13, 2021. Liquidation of these entries will remain enjoined pursuant to the terms of the injunction during the pendency of any appeals process."

(The review period is 01/01/19 - 12/31/19. See Commerce's notice for more information. See 2103240041 for a summary of the preliminary results of this determination.)
