Background

    On October 21, 2008, the Department of Commerce (the

1930, as amended (the ``Act''), that an industry in the United States 
is materially injured within the meaning of section 735(b)(1)(A)(i) of 
the Act by reason of less-than-fair-value imports of uncovered 
innerspring units from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. See Uncovered 
Innerspring Units from South Africa and Vietnam, USITC Pub. 4051, 
Investigation Nos. 731-TA-1141-1142 (Final) (November 2008).
    Pursuant to section 736(a) of the Act, the Department is publishing 
an antidumping duty order on the subject merchandise.

Scope of Order

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 this 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

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

the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the 
export price (or the constructed export price) of the merchandise for 
all relevant entries of uncovered innerspring units from the Socialist 
Republic of Vietnam.

    These antidumping duties will be assessed on (1) all entries of
