Certain Steel Nails From the Republic 

of Korea, Malaysia, the Sultanate of 

Oman, Taiwan, and the Socialist 

Republic of Vietnam: Continuation of 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Orders 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: As a result of the 

determinations by the Department of 

Commerce (Commerce) and the 

International Trade Commission (ITC) 

that revocation of the antidumping duty 

(AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) 

orders on certain steel nails (steel nails) 

from the Republic of Korea (Korea), 

Malaysia, the Sultanate of Oman 

(Oman), Taiwan, and the Socialist 

Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam) would 

likely lead to continuation or recurrence 

of dumping, net countervailable 

subsidies, and material injury to an 

industry in the United States, 

Commerce is publishing a notice of 

continuation of these AD and CVD 

orders. 

DATES: Applicable June 22, 2021.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On July 13, 2015, Commerce 

published the AD orders on steel nails 

from Korea, Malaysia, Oman, Taiwan, 

and Vietnam 1 and on July 14, 2015, 

published the CVD order on steel nails 

from Vietnam.2 On June 1, 2020, the ITC 

instituted,3 and Commerce initiated,4

the first five-year (sunset) reviews of the 

AD Orders and the CVD Order, pursuant 

to section 751(c) of the Tariff Act of 

1930, as amended (the Act). As a result 

of its reviews, Commerce determined 

that revocation of the AD Orders would 

be likely to lead to continuation or 

recurrence of dumping, and revocation 

of the CVD Order would be likely to 

lead to continuation or recurrence of 

countervailable subsidies. Therefore, 

Commerce notified the ITC of the 

magnitude of the margins of dumping 

and the net subsidy rates likely to 

prevail should the AD Orders and the 

CVD Order be revoked.5

On June 3, 2021, the ITC published its 

determinations, pursuant to sections 

751(c) and 752(a) of the Act, that 

revocation of the AD Orders and the 

CVD Order would likely lead to 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States within a reasonably foreseeable 

time.6

Scope of the Orders 

The merchandise covered by the 

orders is certain steel nails having a 

nominal shaft length not exceeding 12 

inches. Certain steel nails include, but 

are not limited to, nails made from 

round wire and nails that are cut from 

flat-rolled steel. Certain steel nails may 

consist of a one piece construction or be 

constructed of two or more pieces. 

Certain steel nails may be produced 

from any type of steel, and may have 

any type of surface finish, head type, 

shank, point type and shaft diameter. 

Finishes include, but are not limited to, 

coating in vinyl, zinc (galvanized, 

including but not limited to 

electroplating or hot dipping one or 

more times), phosphate, cement, and 

paint. Certain steel nails may have one 

or more surface finishes. Head styles 

include, but are not limited to, flat, 

projection, cupped, oval, brad, headless, 

double, countersunk, and sinker. Shank 

styles include, but are not limited to,

shank and fluted. Screw-threaded nails 

subject to this proceeding are driven

limited to, diamond, needle, chisel and 

blunt or no point. Certain steel nails 

may be sold in bulk, or they may be 

collated in any manner using any 

material. 

Excluded from the scope of these 

orders are certain steel nails packaged in 

combination with one or more nonsubject articles, if the total number of 

nails of all types, in aggregate regardless 

of size, is less than 25. If packaged in 

combination with one or more nonsubject articles, certain steel nails

number of nails of all types, in aggregate 

regardless of size, is equal to or greater 

than 25, unless otherwise excluded

Continuation of the Orders

United States, pursuant to section 

751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 CFR 

351.218(a), Commerce hereby orders the
