Notice of initiation of administrative review: Mattresses (MAT 2025 UP2)
Ottawa,
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has today initiated an administrative review to determine normal values and export prices applicable to certain mattresses originating in or exported from China and exported by the following exporters:
- Dongguan Sinohome Limited
- Dormeo North America, LLC
- Sinomax (Zhejiang) Polyurethane Technology Limited
The review follows a request for re-determination filed by an importer and is part of the CBSA’s enforcement of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal’s (CITT) finding issued on November 4, 2022, respecting the dumping and subsidizing of mattresses originating in or exported from China, in accordance with the Special Import Measures Act (SIMA).
The product definition and the applicable tariff classification numbers of the goods subject to the CITT’s finding (subject goods) can be found on the CBSA’s Mattresses: Measures in force.
Normal values established during this review will be effective for the subject goods released from the CBSA on or after the date of the conclusion of the review. Normal values currently in place will expire on that date. Normal values determined on the basis of the review will be applied to any entries of subject goods under appeal that have yet to be re-determined at the time of the conclusion of this review.
Exporters listed above that wish to participate in this administrative review are required to provide complete and accurate responses to the CBSA’s request for information (RFI) by September 15, 2025, by 5:00 p.m. ET. An exporter will be considered cooperative if the requested information is complete, submitted on time and the exporter permits verification of the data. The schedule for this administrative review is now available.
Where an exporter of subject goods which has been asked to respond to an RFI does not provide sufficient information to determine specific normal values or does not permit verification of information submitted, anti-dumping duties will be assessed at a rate of 146.6%, expressed as a percentage of the export price, in accordance with a ministerial specification pursuant to section 29 of SIMA.
Responses to the importer RFI are due by August 28, 2025, by 5:00 p.m. ET. Importers are cautioned that new normal values, when issued, may be higher than those currently in effect and that this could result in additional assessments of anti-dumping duties. Importers are also cautioned that unless an exporter co-operates in the administrative review and receives specific normal values at their conclusion, subsequent imports of subject goods from that exporter will be assessed anti-dumping duties based on ministerial specifications.
All parties are cautioned that where there are increases in domestic prices, and/or costs, the export price for sales to Canada should be increased accordingly to ensure that any sale made to Canada is not only above the normal value but at or above selling prices and full costs and profit of the goods in the exporter’s domestic market. If exporters did not adjust export prices accordingly, retroactive assessments of anti-dumping duty may be warranted.
As part of its administrative review, the CBSA forwarded questionnaires to importers and exporters. Any importers or exporters that have not received a letter from the CBSA that wish to provide a response to the questionnaire are advised to contact the CBSA SIMA Registry and Disclosure Unit at the email below.
This administrative review will be initiated by CBSA through the new Anti-dumping and countervailing e-filing (ACE) web application. Responses to all questionnaires must be filed through ACE. More information can be found on the ACE web application user guide.
