1For purposes of these investigations, the 

Department of Commerce has defined the subject 

merchandise as ‘‘certain steel nails having a shaft 

length up to 12 inches. Certain steel nails include, 

but are not limited to, nails made of round wire and 

nails that are cut. Certain steel nails may be of one 

piece construction or constructed of two or more 

pieces. Certain steel nails may be produced from 

any type of steel, and have a variety of finishes, 

heads, shanks, point types, shaft lengths and shaft 

diameters. Finishes include, but are not limited to, 

coating in vinyl, zinc (galvanized, whether by 

electroplating or hot-dipping one or more times), 

phosphate cement, and paint. 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, 

smooth, barbed, screw threaded, ring shank and 

fluted shank styles. Screw-threaded nails subject to 

this proceeding are driven using direct force and 

not by turning the fastener using a tool that engages 

with the head. Point styles include, but are not 

limited to, diamond, blunt, needle, chisel and no 

point. Finished nails may be sold in bulk, or they 

may be collated into strips or coils using materials 

such as plastic, paper, or wire. Certain steel nails 

subject to this proceeding are currently classified 

under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the 

United States (HTSUS) subheadings 7317.00.55, 

7317.00.65 and 7317.00.75. Excluded from the 

scope of this proceeding are roofing nails of all 

lengths and diameter, whether collated or in bulk, 

and whether or not galvanized. Steel roofing nails 

are specifically enumerated and identified in ASTM 

Standard F 1667 (2005 revision) as Type I, Style 20 

nails. Also excluded from the scope of this 

proceeding are corrugated nails. A corrugated nail 

is made of a small strip of corrugated steel with 

sharp points on one side. Also excluded from the 

scope of this proceeding are fasteners suitable for 

use in powder-actuated hand tools, not threaded 

and threaded, which are currently classified under 

HTSUS 7317.00.20 and 7317.00.30. Also excluded 

from the scope of this proceeding are thumb tacks, 

which are currently classified under HTSUS 

7317.00.10.00. Also excluded from the scope of this 

proceeding are certain brads and finish nails that 

are equal to or less than 0.0720 inches in shank 

diameter, round or rectangular in cross section, 

between 0.375 inches and 2.5 inches in length, and 

that are collated with adhesive or polyester film 

tape backed with a heat seal adhesive. While the 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience 

and customs purposes, the written description of 

the scope of these investigations is dispositive.’’
