Appendix I 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation consists of twist ties, which are 

thin, bendable ties for closing containers, 

such as bags, bundle items, or identifying 

objects. A twist tie in most circumstances is 

comprised of one or more metal wires 

encased in a covering material, which allows 

the tie to retain its shape and bind against 

itself. However, it is possible to make a twist 

tie with plastic and no metal wires. The 

metal wire that is generally used in a twist 

tie is stainless or galvanized steel and 

typically measures between the gauges of 19 

(.0410′′ diameter) and 31 (.0132′′) (American 

Standard Wire Gauge). A twist tie usually has 

a width between .075′′ and 1′′ in the crossmachine direction (width of the tie— 

measurement perpendicular with the wire); a 

thickness between .015′′ and .045′′ over the 

wire; and a thickness between .002′′ and 

.020′′ in areas without wire. The scope 

includes an all-plastic twist tie containing a 

plastic core as well as a plastic covering (the 

wing) over the core, just like paper and/or 

plastic in a metal tie. An all-plastic twist tie 

(without metal wire) would be of the same 

measurements as a twist tie containing one 

or more metal wires. Twist ties are 

commonly available individually in pre-cut 

lengths (‘‘singles’’), wound in large spools to 

be cut later by machine or hand, or in 

perforated sheets of spooled or single twist 

ties that are later slit by machine or by hand 

(‘‘gangs’’). 

The covering material of a twist tie may be 

paper (metallic or plain), or plastic, and can 

be dyed in a variety of colors with or without 

printing. A twist tie may have the same 

covering material on both sides or one side 

of paper and one side of plastic. When 

comprised of two sides of paper, the paper 

material is bound together with an adhesive 

or plastic. A twist tie may also have a tag or 

label attached to it or a pre-applied adhesive 

attached to it. 

Excluded from the scope of the order are 

twist ties packaged with bags for sale together 

where the quantity of twist ties does not 

exceed twice the number of bags in each 

package. Also excluded are twists ties that 

constitute part of the packaging of the 

imported product, for example, merchandise 

anchored/secured to a backing with twist ties 

in the retail package or a bag of bread that 

is closed with a twist tie. 

Twist ties are imported into the United 

States under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of 

the United States (HTSUS) subheadings 

8309.90.0000 and 5609.00.3000. Subject 

merchandise may also enter under HTSUS 

subheadings 3920.51.5000, 3923.90.0080, 

3926.90.9990, 4811.59.6000, 4821.10.2000, 

4821.10.4000, 4821.90.2000, 4821.90.4000, 

and 4823.90.8600. These HTSUS 

subheadings are provided for reference only. 

The written description of the scope of the 

investigation is dispositive.

interested party,1 and nine Taiwanese 

companies,2 Commerce published in the 

Federal Register a notice of initiation of 

an administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on certain steel 

nails from Taiwan covering 141 

companies and the period July 1, 2019 

through June 30, 2020.3

On September 21, 2020, the petitioner 

timely withdrew its request for 

administrative review of all companies 

originally requested, except for one 

company, Create Trading Co., Ltd.4 As 

noted above, nine Taiwanese companies 

also self-requested an administrative 

review. On October 15, 2020, pursuant 

to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce 

rescinded the administrative review, in 

part, of all companies under review 

except for Create Trading Co., Ltd. and 

the nine companies that self-requested 

an administrative review and for which 

their requests for review had not been 

withdrawn at that time.5 Subsequently, 

on November 30, 2020, the nine 

Taiwanese companies timely withdrew 

their requests for review.6

Partial Rescission of Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), 

Commerce will rescind an 

administrative review, in whole or in 

part, if the party that requested the 

review withdraws its request within 90 

days of the publication of the notice of 

initiation of the requested review. 

Because all requests for administrative 

review of the nine companies that selfrequested review were withdrawn 

within 90 days of the date of publication 

of the Initiation Notice and no other 

interested party requested a review of 

these nine companies, in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce is 

rescinding this review with respect to 

these companies: (1) China Staple 

Enterprise Corporation, (2) Hor Liang 

Industrial Corp., (3) Hoyi Plus Co., Ltd., 

(4) Liang Chyuan Industrial Co., Ltd., (5) 

Romp Coil Nail Industries Inc., (6) Trim 

International Inc., (7) UJL Industries Co., 

Ltd., (8) Yu Chi Hardware Co., Ltd., and 

(9) Zon Mon Co., Ltd. 

The administrative review remains 

active only with respect to Create 

Trading Co., Ltd., which has filed a 

certification of no reviewable sales.7

Assessment 

Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs 

and Border Protection (CBP) to assess 

antidumping duties on all appropriate 

entries at a rate equal to the cash deposit 

of estimated antidumping duties 

required at the time of entry, or 

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption, during the period July 1, 

2019 through June 30, 2020, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(c)(1)(i). Commerce intends to 

issue appropriate assessment 

instructions to CBP 15 days after the 

publication of this notice in the Federal 

Register. 

Notification to Importers 

This notice serves as a final reminder 

to importers of their responsibility 

under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a 

certificate regarding the reimbursement 

of antidumping duties prior to 

liquidation of the relevant entries 

during this review period. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in Commerce’s presumption that 

reimbursement of the antidumping 

duties occurred and the subsequent 

assessment of doubled antidumping 

duties. 

Notification Regarding Administrative 

Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the return or 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which 

continues to govern business 

proprietary information in this segment 

of the proceeding. Timely written 

notification of the return or destruction 

of APO materials, or conversion to 

judicial protective order, is hereby 

requested. Failure to comply with the 

regulations and terms of an APO is a 

violation which is subject to sanction. 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 

amended, and 19 CFR 351.213(d)(4).
