SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On August 4, 2023, Commerce 

published the Preliminary Results of the 

2021–2022 administrative review of the 

antidumping duty order on nails from 

Malaysia.1 We invited interested parties 

to comment on the Preliminary Results.2

On November 17, 2023, we extended the 

deadline for these final results until 

January 31, 2024.3 This review covers 

two mandatory respondents: Region and 

Inmax.4 The producers/exporters not 

selected for individual examination are 

referenced in the ‘‘Final Results of 

Review’’ section below and listed in 

Appendix II of this notice. For a 

complete description of the events that 

followed the Preliminary Results, see 

the Issues and Decision Memorandum.5

Commerce conducted this 

administrative review in accordance 

with section 751 of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). 

Scope of the Order 

The products covered by the scope of 

the order are nails from Malaysia. For a 

complete description of the scope of the 

order, see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum.6

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in the case and 

rebuttal briefs filed by interested parties 

in this review are discussed in the 

Issues and Decision Memorandum. A 

list of the topics included in the Issues 

and Decision Memorandum is attached 

as Appendix I to this notice. The Issues 

and Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is made available to the 

public via Enforcement and 

Compliance’s Antidumping and 

Countervailing Duty Centralized 

Electronic Service System (ACCESS). 

ACCESS is available to registered users 

at https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a 

complete version of the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum can be found at 

https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Final Determination of No Shipments 

In the Preliminary Results, Commerce 

determined that Astrotech Steels Private 

Limited, Trinity Steel Private Limited, 

Geekay Wires Limited, and Modern 

Factory for Steel Industries Co. Ltd., 

made no shipments of the subject 

merchandise to the United States during 

the POR. No parties commented on this 

determination. Therefore, for the final 

results of review, we continue to find 

that these companies made no 

shipments of subject merchandise to the 

United States during the POR. 

Consistent with our practice, we will 

issue appropriate instructions to U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

based on our final results. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on the comments received from 

interested parties regarding our 

Preliminary Results, we made certain 

changes to the margin calculation 

methodology used in the Preliminary 

Results and have changed the dumping 

margin for these final results of review, 

as discussed in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Rate for Non-Selected Respondents 

The statute and Commerce’s 

regulations do not address the 

establishment of a rate to be applied to 

companies not selected for individual 

examination when Commerce limits its 

examination in an administrative review 

pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the 

Act. Generally, Commerce looks to 

section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which 

provides instructions for calculating the 

all-others rate in a market economy 

investigation, for guidance when 

calculating the rate for companies 

which were not selected for individual 

examination in an administrative 

review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of 

the Act, the all-others rate is normally 

‘‘an amount equal to the weighted 

average of the estimated weightedaverage dumping margins established 

for exporters and producers 

individually investigated, excluding any 

zero and de minimis margins, and any 

margins determined entirely {on the 

basis of facts available}.’’ 

In this review, we preliminarily 

calculated a weighted-average dumping 

margin for Region that is not zero, de 

minimis, or determined entirely on the 

basis of facts available, but calculated a

7See Preliminary Results. 

8See Appendix II for the list of non-selected 

respondents. 

9 In these final results, Commerce applied the 

assessment rate calculation method adopted in 

Antidumping Proceedings: Calculation of the 

Weighted-Average Dumping Margin and 

Assessment Rate in Certain Antidumping 

Proceedings: Final Modification, 77 FR 8101 

(February 14, 2012). 

10See Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties, 68 

FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).

Amended Final Determination of Sales at Less 

Than Fair Value, 80 FR 34370 (June 16, 2015). 

weighted-average dumping margin for 

Inmax that is zero.7 For the final results, 

we continue to calculate a weightedaverage dumping margins for Region 

that is not zero, de minimis, or 

determined entirely on the basis of facts 

available and a weighted-average 

dumping margin for Inmax that is zero. 

Accordingly, consistent with our 

practice, for the final results of this 

review, we continue to assign the 

dumping margin determined for Region 

to the non-selected mandatory 

respondents. Therefore, the rate for nonselected respondents is 1.08 percent. 

Final Results of Review 

We determine that the following 

weighted-average dumping margins 

exist for the period July 1, 2021, through 

June 30, 2022: 

Producer/exporter 

Estimated 

weightedaverage 

dumping 

margin 

(percent) 

Region International Co., Ltd./ 

Region System Sdn. Bhd ....... 1.08 

Inmax Sdn. Bhd./Inmax Industries Sdn. Bhd ......................... 0.00 

Non-Selected Respondents 8 ..... 1.08 

Disclosure of Calculations 

Commerce intends to disclose the 

calculations performed for these final 

results within five days after the date of 

the public announcement of these final 

results, or if there is no public 

announcement, within five days of the 

date of publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.224(b). 

Assessment Rates 

Commerce shall determine, and CBP 

shall assess, antidumping duties on all 

appropriate entries.9 For any 

individually examined respondents 

whose weighted-average dumping 

margin is above de minimis, we 

calculated importer-specific ad valorem 

duty assessment rates based on the ratio 

of the total amount of dumping 

calculated for the importer’s examined 

sales to the total entered value of those 

same sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 

351.212(b)(1). Upon issuance of the final 

results of this administrative review, if 

any importer-specific assessment rates 

calculated in the final results are above 

de minimis (i.e., at or above 0.5 percent), 

Commerce will issue instructions 

directly to CBP to assess antidumping 

duties on appropriate entries. 

To determine whether the duty 

assessment rates covering the period 

were de minimis, in accordance with 

the requirement set forth in 19 CFR 

351.106(c)(2), we calculated importer 

(or customer)-specific ad valorem rates 

by aggregating the amount of dumping 

calculated for all U.S. sales to that 

importer or customer and dividing this 

amount by the total entered value of the 

sales to that importer (or customer). 

Where an importer (or customer)- 

specific ad valorem rate is greater than 

de minimis, and the respondent has 

reported reliable entered values, we will 

apply the assessment rate to the entered 

value of the importer/customer’s entries 

during the POR. 

For the companies identified in 

Appendix II that were not selected for 

individual examination, we will instruct 

CBP to liquidate entries at the rates 

established in these final results of 

review. 

For entries of subject merchandise 

during the POR produced by any of 

these companies for which they did not 

know their merchandise was destined 

for the United States, we will instruct 

CBP to liquidate such entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the 

intermediate company(ies) involved in 

the transaction.10

Commerce intends to issue 

appropriate assessment instructions 

directly to CBP no earlier than 35 days 

after the date of publication of the final 

results of this review in the Federal 

Register. If a timely summons is filed at 

the U.S. Court of International Trade, 

the assessment instructions will direct 

CBP not to liquidate relevant entries 

until the time for parties to file a request 

for a statutory injunction has expired 

(i.e., within 90 days of publication). 

Cash Deposit Requirements 

The following cash deposit 

requirements will be effective upon 

publication in the Federal Register of 

the notice of these final results for all 

shipments of the subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the 

publication date, as provided by section 

751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit 

rate for companies subject to this review 

will be equal to the company-specific 

weighted-average dumping margin 

established in the final results of the 

review; (2) for merchandise exported by 

producers or exporters not covered in 

this review but covered in a prior 

segment of the proceeding, the cash 

deposit rate will continue to be the 

company-specific rate published in the 

completed segment for the most recent 

period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm 

covered in this review, a prior review, 

or the original investigation but the 

producer has been covered in a prior 

completed segment of this proceeding, 

then the cash deposit rate will be the 

rate established in the completed 

segment for the most recent period for 

the producer of the merchandise; and 

(4) the cash deposit rate for all other 

producers or exporters will continue to 

be 2.66 percent, the all-others rate 

established in the less-than-fair-value 

investigation.11 These cash deposit 

requirements, when imposed, shall 

remain in effect until further notice. 

Notification to Importers Regarding the 

Reimbursement of Duties 

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 antidumping duties 

occurred and the subsequent assessment 

of double antidumping duties. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to an 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 the terms of an APO is 

a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

This notice is issued and published in 

accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 

777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 

351.221.
