Notification to Importers Regarding the 

Reimbursement of Duties 

This notice also serves as a final 

reminder to importers of their 

responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 

to file a certificate regarding the 

reimbursement of antidumping duties 

prior to liquidation of the relevant 

entries during this POR. Failure to 

comply with this requirement could 

result in the Department’s presumption 

that reimbursement of antidumping 

duties has occurred and that subsequent 

assessment of doubled antidumping 

duties.

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.

Affirmative Countervailing Duty 

Determination and Alignment of Final 

Countervailing Duty Determination 

With Final Antidumping Duty 

Determination 

AGENCY: Enforcement and Compliance, 

International Trade Administration, 

Department of Commerce. 

SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(the Department) preliminarily 

determines that countervailable 

subsidies are being provided to 

producers and exporters of certain steel 

nails (nails) from the Socialist Republic 

of Vietnam (Vietnam). The period of 

investigation is January 1, 2013, through 

December 31, 2013. Interested parties 

are invited to comment on this 

preliminary determination. 

DATES: Effective Date: November 3, 

2014.

telephone: (202) 482–6478 and (202) 

482–0410, respectively. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 

25, 2014, the Department initiated this 

countervailing duty (CVD) 

investigation.1 On the same day, the 

Department also initiated an 

antidumping duty (AD) investigation of 

nails from Vietnam.2 On August 7, in 

response to a request from the 

Petitioner, Mid Continent Steel & Wire, 

Inc., the Department postponed the 

preliminary determinations in the CVD 

investigations. 

Alignment of Final Countervailing Duty 

Determination With Final Antidumping 

Duty Determination 

In accordance with section 705(a)(1) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(the Act), and 19 CFR 351.210(b)(4), and 

based on Petitioner’s request, we are 

aligning the final CVD determination in 

this investigation with the final 

determination in the companion AD 

investigation of nails from Vietnam. 

Consequently, the final CVD 

determination will be issued on the 

same date as the final AD 

determination, which is currently 

scheduled to be issued no later than 

March 2, 2015, unless postponed. 

Scope of the Investigation 

The products covered by this 

investigation are certain steel nails. For 

a complete description of the scope of 

the investigation, see Appendix 1 to this 

notice. 

Methodology 

The Department is conducting this 

CVD investigation in accordance with 

section 701 of the Act. For a full 

description of the methodology 

underlying our preliminary conclusions,

6See 19 CFR 351.510. 

7The shaft length of certain steel nails with flat 

heads or parallel shoulders under the head shall be 

measured from under the head or shoulder to the 

tip of the point. The shaft length of all other certain 

steel nails shall be measured overall. 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(IA ACCESS). IA ACCESS is available to 

registered users at http://

iaaccess.trade.gov, and is available to all 

parties in the Central Records Unit, 

room 7046 of the main Department of 

Commerce building. In addition, a 

complete version of the Preliminary 

Decision Memorandum can be accessed 

directly on the Internet at http://

enforcement.trade.gov/frn/index.html. 

The signed Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum and the electronic 

versions of the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum are identical in content. 

In accordance with section 

703(d)(1)(A)(i) of the Act, we calculated 

a CVD rate for each individually 

investigated producer/exporter of the 

subject merchandise. 

Preliminary Determination and 

Suspension of Liquidation 

We preliminarily determine the 

countervailable subsidy rates to be: 

Company Subsidy rate 

Region Industries Co., Ltd 8.35 percent. 

United Nail Products Co., 

Ltd.

0.17 percent (de 

minimis). 

All Others ......................... 8.35 percent. 

In accordance with sections 

703(d)(1)(B) and (2) of the Act, we are 

directing U.S. Customs and Border 

Protection to suspend liquidation of all 

entries of nails from Vietnam that are 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

the publication of this notice in the 

Federal Register, and to require a cash 

deposit for such entries of merchandise 

in the amounts indicated above. For 

United Nail Products Co., Ltd., we are 

not ordering suspension of liquidation 

or the collection the cash deposits, 

because its countervailing duty rate is 

de minimis. 

In accordance with sections 703(d) 

and 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act, for 

companies not investigated, we apply 

an ‘‘all-others’’ rate, which is normally 

calculated by weighting the subsidy 

rates of the individual companies 

selected as respondents by those 

companies’ exports of the subject 

merchandise to the United States. The 

‘‘all-others’’ rate does not include zero 

and de minimis rates or any rates based 

solely on the facts available. In this 

investigation, because we have only one 

rate that we can use to calculate the 

‘‘all-others’’ rate (i.e., the rate for Region 

Industries Co., Ltd.), we have assigned 

that rate to ‘‘all-others.’’ 

Disclosure and Public Comment 

The Department intends to disclose to 

interested parties the calculations 

performed in connection with this 

preliminary determination within five 

days of its public announcement.4

Interested parties may submit case and 

rebuttal briefs,5 and request a hearing.6

For a schedule of the deadlines for filing 

case briefs, rebuttal briefs, and hearing 

requests, see the Preliminary Decision 

Memorandum. 

This determination is issued and 

published pursuant to sections 703(f) 

and 777(i) of the Act. 

Dated: October 27, 2014.

Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and 

Compliance. 

Appendix 1 

Scope of the Investigation 

The merchandise covered by this 

investigation is certain steel nails having a 

nominal shaft length not exceeding 12 

inches.7 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 be of one piece 

construction or 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, smooth, barbed, screw threaded, 

ring shank and fluted. Screw-threaded nails 

subject to this proceeding are driven using 

direct force and not by turning the nail using 

a tool that engages with the head. Point styles 

include, but are not 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. 

If packaged in combination with one or more 

non-subject articles, certain steel nails 

remain subject merchandise if the total 

number of nails of all types, in aggregate 

regardless of size, is equal to or greater than 

25. 

Excluded from the scope of this 

investigation are certain steel nails packaged 

in combination with one or more non-subject 

articles, if the total number of nails of all 

types, in aggregate regardless of size, is less 

than 25.

investigation are nails having a case hardness 

greater than or equal to 50 on the Rockwell 

Hardness C scale (HRC), a carbon content 

greater than or equal to 0.5 percent, a round 

head, a secondary reduced-diameter raised 

head section, a centered shank, and a smooth 

symmetrical point, suitable for use in gasactuated hand tools. 

Also excluded from the scope of this 

investigation are corrugated nails. A 

corrugated nail is made up of a small strip 

of corrugated steel with sharp points on one 

side. 

Also excluded from the scope of this 

investigation are thumb tacks, which are 

currently classified under HTSUS 

7317.00.10.00. 

Certain steel nails subject to this 

investigation are currently classified under 

HTSUS subheadings 7317.00.55.02, 

7317.00.55.03, 7317.00.55.05, 7317.00.55.07,
