The International Trade Administration is amending its recently published final results for its antidumping duty administrative review of certain steel nails from China (A-570-909) in order to correct an error in the importer-specific AD assessment rates calculated for Tianjin Jinchi Metal Products Co., Ltd. Correcting this error does not change the AD cash deposit rates for any respondents. The amended importer-specific assessment rates for Jinchi, which are effective April 24, 2012, are expected to be implemented by U.S. Customs and Border Protection soon.
