Mattresses from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Burma, Italy, Philippines, Poland,
Slovenia, and Taiwan; Determinations
On the basis of the record1 developed in the subject investigations, the United States
International Trade Commission (“Commission”) determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930
(“the Act”), that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of imports of
mattresses from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Burma, Italy, Philippines, Poland, Slovenia,
and Taiwan, provided for in subheadings 9404.21.00, 9404.29.10, and 9404.29.90 of the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States, that have been found by the U.S. Department
of Commerce (“Commerce”) to be sold in the United States at less than fair value (“LTFV”).2

3 The Commission finds that imports subject to Commerce's affirmative critical circumstances
determinations on Burma are likely to undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping duty
order. Commissioner David S. Johanson dissents with respect to the Commission’s affirmative critical
circumstances finding on imports of mattresses from Burma. The Commission also finds that imports
subject to Commerce's affirmative critical circumstances determinations on Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Italy, Philippines, and Taiwan are not likely to undermine seriously the remedial effect of the
antidumping duty orders. Commissioner Jason E. Kearns dissents with respect to the Commission’s
negative critical circumstances finding on imports of mattresses from Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Commission scheduled the final phase of the investigations following notification of preliminary
determinations by Commerce that imports of mattresses from Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Bulgaria, Burma, Italy, Philippines, Poland, Slovenia, and Taiwan were being sold at LTFV within
the meaning of § 733(b) of the Act (19 U.S.C. 1673b(b)). Notice of the scheduling of the final
phase of the Commission’s investigations and of a public hearing to be held in connection
