Mattresses — Indonesia — A-560-836

An AD/CVD measure on mattresses refers to antidumping and countervailing duty procedures. Antidumping (AD) duties address imports sold at what authorities determine to be less than fair value. Countervailing (CVD) duties address benefits that a foreign government is determined to have provided to producers or exporters. These duties are separate from ordinary customs duty and may apply in addition to it.

The measure typically affects importers bringing covered mattresses from specified countries, producers, or exporters into the United States. Coverage depends on the legal product scope, origin, and parties involved—not just the product’s everyday name or its tariff classification. An importer may need to provide additional cash deposits at entry, keep detailed records, and account for possible final duty liability after administrative review. A customs broker or trade attorney may be needed when the scope or applicable rate is unclear.

What to check

• Read the official scope language and compare the mattress’s construction, materials, size, packaging, and intended use; do not rely on the product name alone.
• Confirm the country of origin and identify the actual manufacturer, producer, and exporter, because AD/CVD treatment can vary by country and company.
• Check the correct Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) classification, but remember that an HTS number is an identification aid and does not by itself decide whether the product is in scope.
• Ask your customs broker to verify the required entry documentation, cash-deposit instructions, and importer-of-record responsibilities before shipping.
• Request professional advice or a formal scope ruling when the product is borderline, modified, bundled with other goods, or described ambiguously in the scope.
