Conclusion of normal value review: Mattresses (MAT 2024 UP3)
Ottawa,
The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has today concluded a normal value review to establish the normal values and export prices applicable to mattresses originating in or exported from the People’s Republic of China (China) by Zinus Zhangzhou Inc. (Zinus Zhangzhou).
The review is part of the CBSA’s enforcement of the Canadian International Trade Tribunal’s (CITT) finding issued on November 4, 2022 in Inquiry No. NQ-2022-001, 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 Measures in Force.
Period of investigation
For this review, the period of investigation (POI) and the profitability analysis period (PAP) were from October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024.
Normal value review process
At the initiation of this review, the CBSA sent a dumping Request for Information (RFI) to Zinus Zhangzhou. The information was requested for purposes of determining normal values and export prices applicable to subject goods exported to Canada. The CBSA did not receive a response to the RFI. As such, subject goods will be subject to a ministerial specification. For information on the amount of the ministerial specification please see the CBSA’s Measures in Force.
Normal values
As the CBSA did not receive a response to the dumping RFI, the normal values for subject goods exported to Canada by Zinus Zhangzhou will be determined pursuant to the ministerial specification, under section 29 of SIMA, by advancing the export price of the goods by 146.6%.
Importer responsibility
Importers are reminded that it is their responsibility to calculate and declare their antidumping duty liabilities. If importers are using the services of a customs broker to clear importations, the brokerage firm should be advised that the goods are subject to SIMA measures and be provided with sufficient information necessary to clear the shipments. To determine their antidumping duty liabilities, importers should contact the exporters to obtain the applicable normal values. For further information on this matter, refer to Memorandum D14-1-2: Disclosure of Normal Values, Export Prices, and Amounts of Subsidy Established under the Special Import Measures Act.
The Customs Act (Act) applies, with any modifications that the circumstances require, with respect to the accounting and payment of antidumping duties. As such, failure to pay the duties within the prescribed time will result in the application of the interest provisions of the Act.
