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,

Filing Information 

As a courtesy, we are making 

information related to sunset 

proceedings, including copies of the 

pertinent statute and Commerce’s 

regulations, Commerce’s schedule for 

Sunset Reviews, a listing of past 

revocations and continuations, and 

current service lists, available to the 

public on Commerce’s website at the 

following address: https://

enforcement.trade.gov/sunset/. All 

submissions in these Sunset Reviews 

must be filed in accordance with 

Commerce’s regulations regarding 

format, translation, and service of 

documents. These rules, including 

electronic filing requirements via 

Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS), can be found at 19 CFR 

351.303. 

In accordance with section 782(b) of 

the Act, any party submitting factual 

information in an AD/CVD proceeding 

must certify to the accuracy and 

completeness of that information. 

Parties must use the certification 

formats provided in 19 CFR 351.303(g). 

Commerce intends to reject factual 

submissions if the submitting party does 

not comply with applicable revised 

certification requirements. 

Letters of Appearance and 

Administrative Protective Orders 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.103(d), 

Commerce will maintain and make 

available a public service list for these 

proceedings. Parties wishing to 

participate in any of these five-year 

reviews must file letters of appearance 

as discussed at 19 CFR 351.103(d). To 

facilitate the timely preparation of the 

public service list, it is requested that 

those seeking recognition as interested 

parties to a proceeding submit an entry 

of appearance within 10 days of the 

publication of the Notice of Initiation. 

Because deadlines in Sunset Reviews 

can be very short, we urge interested 

parties who want access to proprietary 

information under administrative 

protective order (APO) to file an APO 

application immediately following 

publication in the Federal Register of 

this notice of initiation. Commerce’s 

regulations on submission of proprietary 

information and eligibility to receive 

access to business proprietary 

information under APO can be found at 

19 CFR 351.304–306. Note that 

Commerce has amended certain of its 

requirements pertaining to the service of 

documents in 19 CFR 351.303(f).1

Information Required from Interested 

Parties 

Domestic interested parties, as 

defined in section 771(9)(C), (D), (E), (F), 

and (G) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.102(b), wishing to participate in a 

Sunset Review must respond not later 

than 15 days after the date of 

publication in the Federal Register of 

this notice of initiation by filing a notice 

of intent to participate. The required 

contents of the notice of intent to 

participate are set forth at 19 CFR 

351.218(d)(1)(ii). In accordance with 

Commerce’s regulations, if we do not 

receive a notice of intent to participate 

from at least one domestic interested 

party by the 15-day deadline, Commerce 

will automatically revoke the order 

without further review.2

If we receive an order-specific notice 

of intent to participate from a domestic 

interested party, Commerce’s 

regulations provide that all parties 

wishing to participate in a Sunset 

Review must file complete substantive 

responses not later than 30 days after 

the date of publication in the Federal 

Register of this notice of initiation. The 

required contents of a substantive 

response, on an order-specific basis, are 

set forth at 19 CFR 351.218(d)(3). Note 

that certain information requirements 

differ for respondent and domestic 

parties. Also, note that Commerce’s 

information requirements are distinct 

from the ITC ’s information 

requirements. Consult Commerce’s 

regulations for information regarding 

Commerce’s conduct of Sunset Reviews. 

Consult Commerce’s regulations at 19 

CFR part 351 for definitions of terms 

and for other general information 

concerning antidumping and 

countervailing duty proceedings at
