Mattress Imports – July Imports Drop Sharply; ITC Preliminary Finding Favors US Petitioners
Somewhat belatedly, we update our continuing analyses on US mattress imports, with the July 2023 mattress import data as posted on the Department of Commerce, US International Trade Commission Data Web.
Importantly, we also discuss and comment on the progress of the July 2023 anti-dumping duty (AD) / countervailing duty (CVD) petition and the preliminary investigations by the USITC.
Following an August 18 conference, the USITC issued a Preliminary Findings and Staff Report that found “a reasonable indication that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of imports of mattresses” from 12 countries listed under New AD12 at the right.
