# SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

## Background

                    Commerce published the                     *Preliminary Results*                     of this administrative review on November 5, 2021.[1]                                          No party commented on our                     *Preliminary Results.*                     Commerce conducted this review in accordance with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).                

##                     Scope of the Order [2] 

                    The merchandise subject to the                     *Order*                     is uncovered innerspring units composed of a series of individual metal springs joined together in sizes corresponding to the sizes of adult mattresses (                    *e.g.,*                     twin, twin long, full, full long, queen, California king and king) and units used in smaller constructions, such as crib and youth mattresses. All uncovered innerspring units are included in the scope regardless of width and length. Included within this definition are innersprings typically ranging from 30.5 inches to 76 inches in width and 68 inches to 84 inches in length. Innersprings for crib mattresses typically range from 25 inches to 27 inches in width and 50 inches to 52 inches in length.                

Uncovered innerspring units are suitable for use as the innerspring component in the manufacture of innerspring mattresses, including mattresses that incorporate a foam encasement around the innerspring.

Pocketed and non-pocketed innerspring units are included in this definition. Non-pocketed innersprings are typically joined together with helical wire and border rods. Non-pocketed innersprings are included in this definition regardless of whether they have border rods attached to the perimeter of the innerspring. Pocketed innersprings are individual coils covered by a “pocket” or “sock” of a nonwoven synthetic material or woven material and then glued together in a linear fashion.

                    Uncovered innersprings are classified under subheading 9404.29.9010 and have also been classified under subheadings 9404.10.0000, 9404.29.9005, 9404.29.9011, 7326.20.0070, 7326.20.0090, 7320.20.5010, 7320.90.5010, or 7326.20.0071 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).[3]                                          The HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes only; the written description of the scope of the                     *Order*                     is dispositive.                

## Final Determination of No Shipments

                    In the                     *Preliminary Results,*                     Commerce determined that Comfort Coil had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. As we have not received any information to contradict that determination, we continue to find that Comfort Coil had no shipments during the POR.                

## China-Wide Entity

                    Commerce's policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide entity applies to this administrative review.[4]                                          Under this policy, the China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the entity. Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity, and we did not self-initiate a review, the China-wide entity rate (                    *i.e.,*                     234.51 percent) is not subject to change as a result of this review.[5]                                          Aside from Comfort Coil, we did not receive a review request for any other company.                

## Assessment Rates

                    As we have determined that Comfort Coil had no shipments of the subject merchandise in this review, any suspended entries during the POR attributable to Comfort Coil will be liquidated at the China-wide entity rate.[6] 

                    Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this review in the                     **Federal Register**                    . If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (                    *i.e.,*                     within 90 days of publication).                

## Cash Deposit Requirements

                    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final results of this administrative review for all shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of review, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For Comfort Coil, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing rate for the most recent period,                     *i.e.,*                     the China-wide rate of 234.51 percent; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters who are not under review in this segment of the proceeding but who have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the most recent period; (3) for all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the China-wide rate of 234.51 percent; and (4) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to Chinese exporter(s) that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.                

## Notification to Importers

This notice also serves as a reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

## Notification Regarding Administrative Protective Orders

                    This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO, or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.                          ( print page 13709)    

## Notification to Interested Parties

We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213(h).

Dated: March 3, 2022.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
