Foreign-Trade Zones Board
[B–38–2021]
Volkswagen Group of America
Chattanooga Operations, LLC
(Volkswagen), submitted a notification
of proposed production activity to the
FTZ Board for its facility in
Chattanooga, Tennessee. The
notification conforming to the
requirements of the regulations of the
FTZ Board (15 CFR 400.22) was
received on May 6, 2021.
Volkswagen already has authority to
produce passenger motor vehicles
within within FTZ 134. The current
request would add foreign status
materials/components to the scope of
authority. Pursuant to 15 CFR 400.14(b),
additional FTZ authority would be
limited to the specific foreign-status
materials/components described in the
submitted notification (as described
below) and subsequently authorized by
the FTZ Board.
Production under FTZ procedures
could exempt Volkswagen from customs
duty payments on the foreign-status
materials/components used in export
production. On its domestic sales, for
the foreign-status materials/components
noted below, Volkswagen would be able
to choose the duty rates during customs
entry procedures that applies to
passenger motor vehicles (duty rate
2.5%). Volkswagen would be able to
avoid duty on foreign-status
components which become scrap/waste.
Customs duties also could possibly be
deferred or reduced on foreign-status
production equipment.
The materials/components sourced
from abroad include: Sound absorbers
(bitumen film hot melt adhesive);
polycrystalline fiber nonwoven mats;
and, steel seal gaskets (duty rate ranges
from 2.7% to 4.3%). The request
indicates that certain materials/
components are subject to duties under
Section 232 of the Trade Expansion Act
of 1962 (Section 232) or Section 301 of
the Trade Act of 1974 (Section 301),

depending on the country of origin. The
applicable Section 232 and Section 301
decisions require subject merchandise
to be admitted to FTZs in privileged
foreign status (19 CFR 146.41).
Public comment is invited from
interested parties. Submissions shall be
addressed to the Board’s Executive
Secretary and sent to: ftz@trade.gov. The
closing period for their receipt is June
23, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with sections 735(d)
and 771(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR
351.210(c), Commerce published its
affirmative final determinations in the
less-than-fair-value investigations of
mattresses from Cambodia, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand, Turkey, and
Vietnam on March 25, 2021.1 On May
10, 2021, the ITC notified Commerce of
its final affirmative determinations 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 the less-than-fair-value
imports of mattresses from Cambodia,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand,
Turkey, and Vietnam.2
Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these
orders are mattresses from Cambodia,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand,
Turkey, and Vietnam. For a complete
description of the scope of the orders,

Pursuant to sections 735(e) of the Act
and 19 CFR 351.224(e) and (f),
Commerce is amending the Cambodia
Final Determination to reflect the
correction of two ministerial errors in
the final estimated weighted-average
dumping margin calculated for the
collapsed entity, Best Mattresses
International Company Limited (Best
Mattresses)/Rose Lion Furniture
International Company Limited (Rose
Lion). In addition, because Best
Mattresses/Rose Lion’s estimated
weighted-average dumping margin is
the basis for the estimated weightedaverage dumping margin for all other
Cambodian producers and exporters of
subject merchandise, we also are
revising the all-others rate in the
Cambodia Final Determination.4 The
amended estimated weighted-average
dumping margins are listed in the
‘‘Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping
Margins’’ section below.
Antidumping Duty Orders
On May 10, 2021, in accordance with
sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) and 735(d) of the
Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its
final determinations that an industry in
the United States is materially injured
by reason of imports of mattresses from
Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Serbia,
Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam.5
Therefore, in accordance with sections
735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act, we are
issuing these antidumping duty orders.
Because the ITC determined that
imports of mattresses from Cambodia,
Indonesia, Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand,
Turkey, and Vietnam are materially
injuring a U.S. industry, unliquidated
entries of such merchandise from
Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Serbia,
Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam, entered
or withdrawn from warehouse for
consumption, are subject to the
assessment of antidumping duties.
As a result of the ITC’s final
affirmative determinations, in
accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the
Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP) to assess,
upon further instruction by Commerce,
antidumping duties equal to the amount
by which the normal value of the
merchandise exceeds the export price or
constructed export price of the
merchandise, for all relevant entries of
mattresses from Cambodia, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand, Turkey, and
Vietnam. Antidumping duties will be
assessed on unliquidated entries of

publication of the Preliminary
Determinations,6 but will not include
entries occurring after the expiration of
the provisional measures period and
before the publication in the Federal
Register of the ITC’s injury
determination, as further described
below.
Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 736 of the
Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to
reinstitute the suspension of liquidation
of subject merchandise (i.e., mattresses
from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia,
Serbia, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam),
effective the date of publication of the
ITC final determination in the Federal
Register, and to assess, upon further
instruction by Commerce pursuant to
section 736(a)(1) of the Act,
antidumping duties for each entry of the
subject merchandise equal to the
amount by which normal value of the
merchandise exceeds the export price or
constructed export price of the
merchandise. We intend to instruct CBP
to require, at the same time as importers
would normally deposit estimated
import duties on this merchandise, cash
deposits for each entry of subject
merchandise equal to the rates noted
below. These instructions suspending

Appendix
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders are
all types of youth and adult mattresses. The
term ‘‘mattress’’ denotes an assembly of
materials that at a minimum includes a
‘‘core,’’ which provides the main support
system of the mattress, and may consist of
innersprings, foam, other resilient filling, or
a combination of these materials. Mattresses
may also contain: (1) ‘‘Upholstery,’’ the
material between the core and the top panel
of the ticking on a single-sided mattress; or
between the core and the top and bottom
panel of the ticking on a double-sided
mattress; and/or (2) ‘‘ticking,’’ the outermost
layer of fabric or other material (e.g., vinyl)
that encloses the core and any upholstery,
also known as a cover.
The scope of these orders is restricted to
only ‘‘adult mattresses’’ and ‘‘youth
mattresses.’’ ‘‘Adult mattresses’’ are
frequently described as ‘‘twin,’’ ‘‘extra-long
twin,’’ ‘‘full,’’ ‘‘queen,’’ ‘‘king,’’ or ‘‘California
king’’ mattresses. ‘‘Youth mattresses’’ are
typically described as ‘‘crib,’’ ‘‘toddler,’’ or
‘‘youth’’ mattresses. All adult and youth
mattresses are included regardless of size and
size description.
The scope encompasses all types of
‘‘innerspring mattresses,’’ ‘‘non-innerspring
mattresses,’’ and ‘‘hybrid mattresses.’’
‘‘Innerspring mattresses’’ contain
innersprings, a series of metal springs joined
together in sizes that correspond to the
dimensions of mattresses. Mattresses that
contain innersprings are referred to as
‘‘innerspring mattresses’’ or ‘‘hybrid
mattresses.’’ ‘‘Hybrid mattresses’’ contain two
or more support systems as the core, such as
layers of both memory foam and innerspring
units.
VerDate Sep<11>2014
19:58 May 13, 2021
Jkt 253001
‘‘Non-innerspring mattresses’’ are those
that do not contain any innerspring units.
They are generally produced from foams
(e.g., polyurethane, memory (viscoelastic),
latex foam, gel-infused viscoelastic (gel
foam), thermobonded polyester,
polyethylene) or other resilient filling.
Mattresses covered by the scope of these
orders may be imported independently, as
part of furniture or furniture mechanisms
(e.g., convertible sofa bed mattresses, sofa
bed mattresses imported with sofa bed
mechanisms, corner group mattresses, daybed mattresses, roll-away bed 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 these orders
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 that 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 these
orders are any products covered by the
existing antidumping duty orders on
uncovered innerspring units from China or
Vietnam. See Uncovered Innerspring Units
from the People’s Republic of China: Notice
of Antidumping Duty Order, 74 FR 7661
(February 19, 2009); Antidumping Duty
Order: Uncovered Innerspring Units from the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam, 73 FR 75391
(December 11, 2008).
Also excluded from the scope of these
orders are bassinet pads with a nominal
length of less than 39 inches, a nominal
width less than 25 inches, and a nominal
depth of less than 2 inches.
Additionally, also excluded from the scope
of these orders are ‘‘mattress toppers.’’ A
PO 00000
Frm 00007
Fmt 4703
Sfmt 4703
26463
‘‘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 these orders are
currently properly classifiable under HTSUS
subheadings: 9404.21.0010, 9404.21.0013,
9404.29.1005, 9404.29.1013, 9404.29.9085,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
In accordance with sections 735(d) and 771(i)(1) of the Tariff Act
of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.210(c), Commerce
published its affirmative final determinations in the less-than-fair-
value investigations of mattresses from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia,
Serbia, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam on March 25, 2021.\1\ On May 10,
2021, the ITC notified Commerce of its final affirmative determinations
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 the less-
than-fair-value imports of mattresses from Cambodia, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam.\2\

Scope of the Orders
The merchandise covered by these orders are mattresses from
Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam.
For a complete description of the scope of the orders, see the Appendix
to this notice.
Amendment to Final Determination; Mattresses From Cambodia
A ministerial error is defined as an error in addition,
subtraction, or other arithmetic function, clerical error resulting
from inaccurate copying, duplication, or the like, and any other
similar type of unintentional error which the Secretary considers
ministerial.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ See section 735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(f).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to sections 735(e) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.224(e) and
(f), Commerce is amending the Cambodia Final Determination to reflect
the correction of two ministerial errors in the final estimated
weighted-average dumping margin calculated for the collapsed entity,
Best Mattresses International Company Limited (Best Mattresses)/Rose
Lion Furniture International Company Limited (Rose Lion). In addition,
because Best Mattresses/Rose Lion's estimated weighted-average dumping
margin is the basis for the estimated weighted-average dumping margin
for all other Cambodian producers and exporters of subject merchandise,
we also are revising the all-others rate in the Cambodia Final
Determination.\4\ The amended estimated weighted-average dumping
margins are listed in the ``Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping
Margins'' section below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ See Memorandum, ``Antidumping Duty Investigation of
Mattresses from Cambodia: Allegations of Ministerial Errors in Final
Determination,'' dated April 19, 2021 (Ministerial Error
Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Antidumping Duty Orders
On May 10, 2021, in accordance with sections 735(b)(1)(A)(i) and
735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final
determinations that an industry in the United States is materially
injured by reason of imports of mattresses from Cambodia, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam.\5\ Therefore, in
accordance with sections 735(c)(2) and 736 of the Act, we are issuing
these antidumping duty orders. Because the ITC determined that imports
of mattresses from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand,
Turkey, and Vietnam are materially injuring a U.S. industry,
unliquidated entries of such merchandise from Cambodia, Indonesia,
Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam, entered or withdrawn
from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of
antidumping duties.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\5\ See ITC Letter.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a result of the ITC's final affirmative determinations, in
accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S.
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction
by Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal
value of the merchandise exceeds the export price or constructed export
price of the merchandise, for all relevant entries of mattresses from
Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand, Turkey, and Vietnam.
Antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of
mattresses from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand,
Turkey, and Vietnam entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption on or after November 3, 2020, the date of publication of
the Preliminary Determinations,\6\ but will not include entries
occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and
before the publication in the Federal Register of the ITC's injury
determination, as further described below.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Suspension of Liquidation
In accordance with section 736 of the Act, Commerce will instruct
CBP to reinstitute the suspension of liquidation of subject merchandise
(i.e., mattresses from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand,
Turkey, and Vietnam), effective the date of publication of the ITC
final determination in the Federal Register, and to assess, upon
further instruction by Commerce pursuant to section 736(a)(1) of the
Act, antidumping duties for each entry of the subject merchandise equal
to the amount by which normal value of the merchandise exceeds the
export price or constructed export price of the merchandise. We intend
to instruct CBP to require, at the same time as importers would
normally deposit estimated import duties on this merchandise, cash
deposits for each entry of subject merchandise equal to the rates noted
below. These instructions suspending
[[Page 26462]]
liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. The all-others
rates listed below apply to all other producers or exporters not
specifically listed. The Vietnam-wide entity rate listed below applies
to all exporters not specifically listed.

Provisional Measures
Section 733(d) of the Act states that suspension of liquidation
pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in
effect for more than six months. Commerce published its affirmative
Preliminary Determinations on November 3, 2020. Therefore, the six-
month period beginning on the date of publication of the Preliminary
Determinations ended on May 1, 2021. Pursuant to section 737(b) of the
Act, the collection of cash deposits at the rates listed above will
begin on the date of publication of the ITC's final injury
determination in the Federal Register.
Therefore, in accordance with section 733(d) of the Act, Commerce
will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to
liquidate, without regard to antidumping duties, unliquidated entries
of mattresses from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand,
[[Page 26463]]
Turkey, and Vietnam entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for
consumption after May 1, 2021, the final day on which the provisional
measures were in effect, through the day preceding the date of
publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determinations in the
Federal Register. Suspension of liquidation will resume on the date of
publication of the ITC's final affirmative injury determinations in the
Federal Register.

Appendix
Scope of the Orders
The products covered by these orders are all types of youth and
adult mattresses. The term ``mattress'' denotes an assembly of
materials that at a minimum includes a ``core,'' which provides the
main support system of the mattress, and may consist of
innersprings, foam, other resilient filling, or a combination of
these materials. Mattresses may also contain: (1) ``Upholstery,''
the material between the core and the top panel of the ticking on a
single-sided mattress; or between the core and the top and bottom
panel of the ticking on a double-sided mattress; and/or (2)
``ticking,'' the outermost layer of fabric or other material (e.g.,
vinyl) that encloses the core and any upholstery, also known as a
cover.
The scope of these orders is restricted to only ``adult
mattresses'' and ``youth mattresses.'' ``Adult mattresses'' are
frequently described as ``twin,'' ``extra-long twin,'' ``full,''
``queen,'' ``king,'' or ``California king'' mattresses. ``Youth
mattresses'' are typically described as ``crib,'' ``toddler,'' or
``youth'' mattresses. All adult and youth mattresses are included
regardless of size and size description.
The scope encompasses all types of ``innerspring mattresses,''
``non-innerspring mattresses,'' and ``hybrid mattresses.''
``Innerspring mattresses'' contain innersprings, a series of metal
springs joined together in sizes that correspond to the dimensions
of mattresses. Mattresses that contain innersprings are referred to
as ``innerspring mattresses'' or ``hybrid mattresses.'' ``Hybrid
mattresses'' contain two or more support systems as the core, such
as layers of both memory foam and innerspring units.
``Non-innerspring mattresses'' are those that do not contain any
innerspring units. They are generally produced from foams (e.g.,
polyurethane, memory (viscoelastic), latex foam, gel-infused
viscoelastic (gel foam), thermobonded polyester, polyethylene) or
other resilient filling.
Mattresses covered by the scope of these orders may be imported
independently, as part of furniture or furniture mechanisms (e.g.,
convertible sofa bed mattresses, sofa bed mattresses imported with
sofa bed mechanisms, corner group mattresses, day-bed mattresses,
roll-away bed 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 these orders 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 liquid-filled
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 that 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 these orders are any products
covered by the existing antidumping duty orders on uncovered
innerspring units from China or Vietnam. See Uncovered Innerspring
Units from the People's Republic of China: Notice of Antidumping
Duty Order, 74 FR 7661 (February 19, 2009); Antidumping Duty Order:
Uncovered Innerspring Units from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam,
73 FR 75391 (December 11, 2008).
Also excluded from the scope of these orders are bassinet pads
with a nominal length of less than 39 inches, a nominal width less
than 25 inches, and a nominal depth of less than 2 inches.
Additionally, also excluded from the scope of these orders 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 these orders are currently properly
classifiable under HTSUS subheadings: 9404.21.0010, 9404.21.0013,
9404.29.1005, 9404.29.1013, 9404.29.9085, and 9404.29.9087. Products
subject to these orders may also enter under HTSUS subheadings:
9404.21.0095, 9404.29.1095, 9404.29.9095, 9401.40.0000, and
9401.90.5081. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the
merchandise subject to these orders is dispositive.
