On March 25, 2021, Commerce

Cambodia.1 After correcting ministerial
errors contained the Final

Commerce published the Amended
Final Determination and Order.2
Best Mattresses/Rose Lion 3 filed a
complaint before the CIT seeking
judicial review of Commerce’s
Amended Final Determination and
Order.4 On February 17, 2023, the CIT
sustained in part, and remanded, in
part, Commerce’s Amended Final
Determination and Order.5 Specifically,
the CIT remanded Commerce to further
explain or reconsider the following: (1)
the use of Cambodian Trademap data
under the transactions disregarded rule;
(2) the inclusion of imports from nonmarket economy (NME) and exportsubsidizing countries in the Cambodian
Trademap and six country Global Trade
Atlas (GTA) datasets when calculating
input cost of production and market
price under the transactions disregarded
and major input rules; and (3) the
conclusion that the financial statements
relied on in the Final Determination
were complete and publicly available.6
In its final results of redetermination
pursuant to the Remand Order, issued
on July 17, 2023, Commerce
reconsidered the three determinations
listed above.7 In the Remand
Redetermination, Commerce: (1)
continued to find Cambodia to be the
appropriate ‘‘market under
consideration’’ in this case; 8 (2)
continued to use Cambodian Trademap
and the six country GTA datasets, but
excluded data from NME countries and
countries with export subsidies; 9 and
(3) continued to find that, while the

financial statements used in the Final
Determination are publicly available, an
average of the financial statements on
the record of this proceeding constituted
the best proxy of constructed value
profit and selling expense data.10 As a
result of the above, Commerce
recalculated the weighted-average
dumping margin for Best Mattresses/
Rose Lion, which changed from 52.41
percent to 103.79 percent.11
Consequently, the dumping margin
applicable to all other companies
changed from 52.41 percent to 103.79

sustained Commerce’s Remand
Redetermination.13
Timken Notice
In its decision in Timken,14 as
clarified by Diamond Sawblades,15 the
U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal
Circuit held that, pursuant to section
516A(c) and (e) the Tariff Act of 1930,
as amended (the Act), Commerce must
publish a notice of court decision that
is not ‘‘in harmony’’ with a Commerce
determination and must suspend
liquidation of entries pending a
‘‘conclusive’’ court decision. The CIT’s
May 16, 2024, judgment constitutes a
final decision of the CIT that is not in
harmony with Commerce’s Amended
Final Determination and Order. Thus,
this notice is published in fulfillment of

Timken Notice
In its decision in Timken,\14\ as clarified by Diamond
Sawblades,\15\ the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit held
that, pursuant to section 516A(c) and (e) the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), Commerce must publish a notice of court decision
that is not ``in harmony'' with a Commerce determination and must
suspend liquidation of entries pending a ``conclusive'' court decision.
The CIT's May 16, 2024, judgment constitutes a final decision of the
CIT that is not in harmony with Commerce's Amended Final Determination
and Order. Thus, this notice is published in fulfillment of the
publication requirements of Timken.

Amended Final Determination and Order
Because there is now a final court judgment, Commerce is amending
the Amended Final Determination and Order to revise the dumping margins
assigned to Best Mattresses/Rose Lion and all other producers and
exporters of subject merchandise for the period January 1, 2019,
through December 31, 2019, as follows:

Weighted-

Exporter/producer dumping
margin
(percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Best Mattresses International Company Limited/Rose Lion 103.79
Furniture International Company Limited....................
All Others.................................................. 103.79
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
Because Best Mattresses/Rose Lion does not have a superseding cash
deposit rate (i.e., there have been no final results published in a
subsequent administrative review of Best Mattresses/Rose Lion) and
because of the change to the dumping margin assigned to all other
producers and/or exporters of subject merchandise, Commerce will
instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to collect cash
deposits at the rates equal to the company-specific and all others
estimated weighted-average dumping margins listed in the table above.
Liquidation of Suspended Entries
At this time, Commerce remains enjoined by CIT order from
liquidating entries that were produced and/or exported by Best
Mattresses/Rose Lion, and were entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on and after November 3, 2020, excluding any
merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on
May 2, 2021, through May 13, 2021. Liquidation of these entries will
remain enjoined pursuant to the terms of the injunction during the
pendency of any appeals process. In the event the CIT's ruling is not
appealed, or, if appealed, upheld by a final and conclusive court
decision, Commerce intends to instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties
on unliquidated entries of subject merchandise produced and/or exported
by Best Mattresses/Rose Lion in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b). We
will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries when the importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is not
zero or de minimis. Where an importer-specific ad valorem assessment
rate is zero or de minimis,\16\ we will instruct CBP to liquidate the
appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
