# SUMMARY:

                        On September 28, 2020, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) published the                         *Preliminary Results*                         of the first full five-year (sunset) review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on certain steel nails (steel nails) from the Sultanate of Oman (Oman).
