SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On May 2, 2024, Commerce published in the Federal Register a notice of opportunity to request an administrative review of the AD order on mattresses from Serbia. 1 Commerce received a timely request for review of the Order from Healthcare Europe DOO Ruma for itself, and from Brooklyn Bedding, Elite Comfort Solutions, FXI, Inc., Kolcraft Enterprises, Inc., Leggett & Platt, Incorporated, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, and United Steel, Paper and Forestry, Rubber, Manufacturing, Energy, Allied Industrial and Service Workers International Union, AFL-CIO (the petitioners) for Healthcare Europe, Inc. 2 We received no other requests of review.

On July 5, 2024, Commerce initiated an administrative review of the AD order on mattresses from Serbia, covering the period from May 1, 2023, through April 30, 2024, in accordance with section 751(a) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.221(c)(1)(i). 3 This review covers subject merchandise exported and/or produced by the following two companies: (1) Healthcare Europe DOO Ruma.; and (2) Healthcare Europe, Inc. 4 On July 22, 2024, we placed on the record U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) data for entries of mattresses from Serbia during the POR, showing no reviewable POR entries for one company, Healthcare Europe Inc. listed in the Initiation Notice. 5 We invited interested parties to comment, and received no comments. Commerce issued the initial questionnaire to Healthcare Europe DOO Ruma. 6 On September 30, 2024, Healthcare Europe DOO Ruma withdrew its request for administrative review, pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).

On November 19, 2024, Commerce notified all interested parties of its intent to rescind the administrative review because there were no suspended entries of subject merchandise made by Healthcare Europe, Inc., and invited interested partes to comment. 7 We received comments filed on behalf of Healthcare Europe DOO Ruma. 8 Healthcare Europe DOO Ruma agreed with Commerce's stated intent to rescind the administrative review with respect to Healthcare Europe, Inc., and also reiterated that it timely withdrew its review request of itself, and as a result, Commerce should rescind the administrative review with respect to Healthcare Europe DOO Ruma. 9 Commerce did not receive comments from any other interested parties on Commerce's notice of intent to rescind the administrative review.

Rescission of Review
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the parties that requested a review withdraw the request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation. Commerce received a request from Healthcare Europe DOO Ruma for an administrative review of itself. On September 30, 2024, Healthcare Europe DOO Ruma withdrew its request for a review of itself. 12 Because the request for review was timely withdrawn for Healthcare Europe DOO Ruma, and because no other party requested a review of Healthcare Europe DOO Ruma, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is rescinding this review for Healthcare Europe DOO Ruma.
Footnotes:
12 ? See Healthcare's Letter, "Withdrawal of Request for Administrative Review," dated September 30, 2024.
Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to rescind an administrative review of an AD order when there are no entries of subject merchandise during the POR for which liquidation is suspended. 13 Normally, upon completion of an administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the AD assessment rate calculated for the review period. 14 Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be a suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP to liquidate at the AD assessment rate calculated for the review period. 15 As noted above, there were no suspended entries of subject merchandise for Healthcare Europe, Inc. subject to this review during the POR. Accordingly, in the absence of suspended entries of subject merchandise during the POR, we are hereby rescinding this administrative review, in its entirety, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3).

Antidumping duties shall be assessed at rates equal to the cash deposit rate of estimated antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from warehouse, for consumption, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of this rescission notice in the Federal Register .
