Appendix

Revocation of the Order

Pursuant to the CIT's holding in PT. Zinus et al. v. United States, Slip Op. 25-15, Consol. Ct. No. 21-277, (February 18, 2025) (PT. Zinus III) sustaining Commerce's second remand redetermination pertaining to the AD investigation of mattresses from Indonesia covering the period of investigation January 1, 2019, through December 31, 2019, Commerce is revoking the AD order on mattresses from Indonesia pursuant to 19 CFR 351.222(b)(2). Pursuant to section 735(c)(2) of the Act, “the investigation shall be terminated upon publication of that negative determination” and Commerce shall “terminate the suspension of liquidation” and “release any bond or other security, and refund any cash deposit.” As a result of the CIT's decision, Commerce is hereby revoking the Order and releasing any bonds or other security and refunding cash deposits.

While section 735(c)(2)(A) of the Act instructs Commerce to terminate suspension of liquidation, here, because suspension of liquidation must continue during the pendency of the appeals process (in accordance with Timken and as discussed above), we will instruct CBP at this time to (A) continue suspension at a cash deposit rate of 0.0 percent until instructed otherwise; and (B) release any bond or other security, and refund any cash deposit made pursuant to the order on Indonesian mattresses published in Mattresses from Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Serbia, Thailand, the Republic of Turkey, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Antidumping Duty Orders and Amended Final Affirmative Antidumping Determination for Cambodia,92 FR 26460 (May 14, 2021). In the event the CIT's ruling in PT. Zinus III is not appealed, or if appealed and upheld by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, Commerce ( printed page 13139) will instruct CBP to terminate the suspension of liquidation and to liquidate those entries of subject merchandise without regard to antidumping duties. Notwithstanding the continued suspension described above, the AD order on mattresses from Indonesia is hereby revoked. As a result of this revocation, Commerce is discontinuing all unfinished administrative reviews immediately and will not initiate any new administrative reviews of the Order.
