Mattresses From the People's Republic of China: Final Results of the Expedited First Sunset Review of the Countervailing Duty Order
What happened
The U.S. Department of Commerce determined that ending the countervailing duty (CVD) order on mattresses from the People's Republic of China would likely lead to continued or recurring government subsidies. This decision, applicable July 24, 2026, maintains a 97.78 percent ad valorem subsidy rate for several Chinese producers/exporters and 'All Others'. Scot Fullerton, Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, signed this finding.
Why it matters
This action protects U.S. mattress manufacturers from what the government considers unfair competition from subsidized Chinese imports. It aims to create a level playing field by ensuring Chinese mattresses sold in the U.S. reflect their true production cost without government assistance.
