Final Results of Review; Partial Revocation of Antidumping Duty Order

upholstered beds, as described herein, constitutes changed

substantially all of the domestic industry. Therefore, the Department

detailed above, in accordance with sections 751(b), (d) and 782(h) of 
the Act and 19 CFR 351.216(d) and 351.222(g). We will instruct U.S. 
Customs and Border Protection to liquidate without regard to 
antidumping duties, as applicable, and to refund any estimated 
antidumping duties collected for all unliquidated entries of 
upholstered beds, meeting the specifications indicated above, and not 
subject to final results of an administrative review as of the date of 
publication in the Federal Register of the final results of this 
changed circumstances review in accordance with 19 CFR 351.222(g).
