⚖ Oral Arguments, with Context

The Federal Circuit considers a dispute over antidumping calculations for mattresses from Indonesia. These duties are extra import charges addressing below-fair-value sales that materially harm or threaten a domestic industry. Some mattress models came from multiple countries, and Zinus's warehouse records could not trace every sale back to its origin. That mattered because Commerce needed to identify Indonesian sales, not all sales from the warehouse. The agency estimated the Indonesian share using quarterly ratios. After twice sending the calculations back to Commerce for further work, the Court of International Trade upheld the revised result. Brooklyn Bedding and other domestic producers and unions will seek another remand, meaning a return to the agency for further work. Their lawyer will argue that Commerce rejected some estimates as impossible while accepting inventory data with the same problem: sales apparently exceeding the available mattresses. The government and Zinus will defend the estimate as reasonable despite small anomalies in imperfect records. Substantial-evidence review asks whether the record adequately supports the agency's decision. Another dispute concerns the benchmark for components purchased from a related company rather than an independent seller. The panel will also consider whether new inventory information needed additional checking, and whether that objection was raised too late.
