Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this investigation 

are all types of youth and adult mattresses. 

The term ‘‘mattress’’ denotes an assembly of 

materials that at a minimum includes a 

‘‘core,’’ which provides the main support 

system of the mattress, and may consist of 

innersprings, foam, other resilient filling, or 

a combination of these materials. Mattresses 

also may contain: (1) ‘‘upholstery,’’ the 

material between the core and the top panel 

of the ticking on a single-sided mattress, or 

between the core and the top and bottom 

panel of the ticking on a double-sided 

mattress; and/or (2) ‘‘ticking,’’ the outermost 

layer of fabric or other material (e.g., vinyl) 

that encloses the core and any upholstery, 

also known as a cover. 

The scope of this investigation is restricted 

to only ‘‘adult mattresses’’ and ‘‘youth 

mattresses.’’ ‘‘Adult mattresses’’ are 

frequently described as ‘‘twin,’’ ‘‘extra-long 

twin,’’ ‘‘full,’’ ‘‘queen,’’ ‘‘king,’’ or ‘‘California 

king’’ mattresses. ‘‘Youth mattresses’’ are 

typically described as ‘‘crib,’’ ‘‘toddler,’’ or 

‘‘youth’’ mattresses. All adult and youth 

mattresses are included regardless of size and 

size description or how they are described 

(e.g., frameless futon mattress and tri-fold 

mattress). 

The scope encompasses all types of 

‘‘innerspring mattresses,’’ ‘‘non-innerspring 

mattresses,’’ and ‘‘hybrid mattresses.’’ 

‘‘Innerspring mattresses’’ contain 

innersprings, a series of metal springs joined 

together in sizes that correspond to the 

dimensions of mattresses. Mattresses that 

contain innersprings are referred to as 

‘‘innerspring mattresses’’ or ‘‘hybrid 

mattresses.’’ ‘‘Hybrid mattresses’’ contain two 

or more support systems as the core, such as 

layers of both memory foam and innerspring 

units. 

‘‘Non-innerspring mattresses’’ are those 

that do not contain any innerspring units. 

They are generally produced from foams 

(e.g., polyurethane, memory (viscoelastic), 

latex foam, gel infused viscoelastic (gel 

foam), thermobonded polyester, 

polyethylene) or other resilient filling. 

Mattresses covered by the scope of this 

investigation may be imported 

independently, as part of furniture or 

furniture mechanisms (e.g., convertible sofa 

bed mattresses, sofa bed mattresses imported 

with sofa bed mechanisms, corner group 

mattresses, day-bed mattresses, roll-away bed 

mattresses, high risers, trundle bed 

mattresses, crib mattresses), or as part of a set 

(in combination with a ‘‘mattress 

foundation’’). ‘‘Mattress foundations’’ are any 

base or support for a mattress. Mattress 

foundations are commonly referred to as 

‘‘foundations,’’ ‘‘boxsprings,’’ ‘‘platforms,’’ 

and/or ‘‘bases.’’ Bases can be static, foldable, 

or adjustable. Only the mattress is covered by 

the scope if imported as part of furniture, 

with furniture mechanisms, or as part of a 

set, in combination with a mattress 

foundation. 

Excluded from the scope of this 

investigation are ‘‘futon’’ mattresses. A 

‘‘futon’’ is a bi-fold frame made of wood, 

metal, or plastic material, or any combination 

thereof, that functions as both seating 

furniture (such as a couch, love seat, or sofa) 

and a bed. A ‘‘futon mattress’’ is a tufted 

mattress, where the top covering is secured 

to the bottom with thread that goes 

completely through the mattress from the top 

through to the bottom, and it does not 

contain innersprings or foam. A futon 

mattress is both the bed and seating surface 

for the futon. 

Also excluded from the scope are airbeds 

(including inflatable mattresses) and 

waterbeds, which consist of air- or liquidfilled bladders as the core or main support 

system of the mattress. 

Also excluded is certain multifunctional 

furniture that is convertible from seating to 

sleeping, regardless of filler material or 

components, where such filler material or 

components are upholstered, integrated into 

the design and construction of, and 

inseparable from, the furniture framing, and 

the outermost layer of the multifunctional 

furniture converts into the sleeping surface. 

Such furniture may, and without limitation, 

be commonly referred to as ‘‘convertible 

sofas,’’ ‘‘sofabeds,’’ ‘‘sofa chaise sleepers,’’ 

‘‘futons,’’ ‘‘ottoman sleepers,’’ or a like 

description. 

Also excluded from the scope of this 

investigation are any products covered by the 

existing antidumping duty orders on 

uncovered innerspring units from the 

People’s Republic of China, South Africa, 

and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. See 

Uncovered Innerspring Units from the 

People’s Republic of China, South Africa, 

and Socialist Republic of Vietnam: 

Continuation of Antidumping Duty Orders, 

84 FR 55285 (October 16, 2019). 

Also excluded from the scope of this 

investigation are bassinet pads with a 

nominal length of less than 39 inches, a 

nominal width of less than 25 inches, and a 

nominal depth of less than 2 inches. 

Additionally, also excluded from the scope 

of this investigation are ‘‘mattress toppers.’’ 

A ‘‘mattress topper’’ is a removable bedding 

accessory that supplements a mattress by 

providing an additional layer that is placed 

on top of a mattress. Excluded mattress 

toppers have a height of four inches or less. 

The products subject to this investigation 

are currently classifiable under Harmonized 

Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) 

subheadings: 9404.21.0010, 9404.21.0013, 

9404.21.0095, 9404.29.1005, 9404.29.1013, 

9404.29.1095, 9404.29.9085, 9404.29.9087, 

and 9404.29.9095. Products subject to this 

investigation may also enter under HTSUS 

subheadings: 9401.41.0000, 9401.49.0000, 

and 9401.99.9081. Although the HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written 

description of the merchandise subject to this 

investigation is dispositive.
