Taiwan Steel Nails: Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department has released the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on steel nails from Taiwan (A-583-854). Commerce said it made certain changes to the rate calculation for Your Standing International, making the final rate higher than in the preliminary results of this review, and that changed the review average rate as well. Commerce will set assessments of antidumping duties for subject merchandise entered July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022. New cash deposit rates set in these final results take effect Feb. 1.

For exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all except the companies listed below), cash deposit rates remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. If the exporter has never been assigned its own AD rate but the manufacturer has, the rate assigned to the manufacturer applies. For merchandise manufactured and exported by companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the all-others rate of 2.16% applies.
New Cash Deposit Rates Take Effect Feb. 1
For entries on or after Feb. 1, Commerce is setting new AD cash deposit rates for subject merchandise produced or exported by the following companies:
| Producer/Exporter | AD Rate |
|---|---|
| Your Standing International, Inc. | 26.28% |
| Shang Jeng Nail Co., Ltd. | 78.17% |
| World Kun Company Limited | 78.17% |
| Non-individually examined companies (applicable to 130 companies) | 26.28% |
Non-individually examined companies. Commerce did not individually investigate 130 companies subject to this review and instead assigned them the rates assigned to Your Standing International. See Commerce's notice, Appendix II, for a full list of these companies.
No shipments. Commerce found four companies -- Astrotech Steels Private Limited (Astrotech); Region Systems Sdn. Bhd (Region Systems); Region Industries Co., Ltd. (Region Industries); and Region International Co. Ltd. (Region International) -- had no shipments to the U.S. during the period under review. Cash deposit requirements for these four companies will not change as a result of this review. Any entries under their case numbers will be liquidated at the 2.16% all-others rate.
Additionally, Commerce said it continued to find, as it did for the preliminary results of this review, that Concord International Engineering & Trading Co., Ltd. (Concord International), Wiresmith Industrial Co., Ltd. (Wiresmith), and Create Trading Co., Ltd. (Create Trading) -- resellers of subject merchandise that reported that they had no reviewable sales or shipments during the review period -- were not the first parties in the transaction chain and, thus, are not considered the exporters of subject merchandise during the review period for purposes of this review. So Commerce will issue instructions to CBP to liquidate any existing entries of subject merchandise produced and exported by the resellers’ respective unaffiliated suppliers at the rate applicable to the unaffiliated producers, or the all-others rate, i.e., 2.16%, if there is no rate for the unaffiliated producers
Assessment Rates for Entries July 2021 - June 2022
Commerce is using the rates it calculated in these final results to calculate assessments of AD duties on importers of subject merchandise for entries between July 1, 2021, and June 30, 2022. Commerce will assess AD on importers of entries from Your Standing International at importer-specific rates. Commerce will assess AD on the other exporters subject to this review at the rates listed above.
(The review period is 07/01/21 - 06/30/22. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2308020055 for the preliminary results of this review.)
