5See Certain Steel Nails from the United Arab 

Emirates Nos. 731–TA–1185 (Review), USITC 

Publication 4729 (September 2017). 

pursuant to section 751(c) of the Act, 

that revocation of the Order on nails 

from the UAE would likely lead to a 

continuation or recurrence of material 

injury to an industry in the United 

States within a reasonably foreseeable 

time.5

Scope of the Order 

The merchandise covered by this 

Order includes 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 Order 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. Certain steel 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 

Order 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 Order 

are steel nails specifically enumerated 

and identified in ASTM Standard F 

1667 (2011 revision) as Type I, Style 20 

nails, whether collated or in bulk, and 

whether or not galvanized.

Order are the following products:

bulk), two-piece steel nails having 

plastic or steel washers (caps) already 

assembled to the nail, having a bright or 

galvanized finish, a ring, fluted or spiral 

shank, an actual length of 0.500′′ to 8′′, 

inclusive; an actual shank diameter of 

0.1015′′ to 0.166′′, inclusive; and an 

actual washer or cap diameter of 0.900′′ 

to 1.10′′, inclusive;

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 

gas-actuated hand tools. While the 

HTSUS subheadings are provided for 

convenience and customs purposes, the 

written description of the scope of this 

Order is dispositive. 

Continuation of the Order 

As a result of the determinations by 

the Department and the ITC that 

revocation of the Order would likely 

lead to a continuation or recurrence of 

dumping and material injury to an 

industry in the United States, pursuant 

to section 751(d)(2) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.218(a), the Department hereby 

orders the continuation of the Order on 

certain steel nails from the UAE. U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection will 

continue to collect cash deposits at the 

rates in effect at the time of entry for all 

imports of subject merchandise. 

The effective date of the continuation 

of the Order will be the date of 

publication in the Federal Register of 

this notice of continuation. Pursuant to 

section 751(c)(2) of the Act, the 

Department intends to initiate the next 

five-year review of the Order not later 

than 30 days prior to the fifth 

anniversary of the effective date of 

continuation. 

This five-year sunset review and this 

notice are in accordance with section 

751(c) of the Act and published 

pursuant to section 777(i)(1) of the Act 

and 19 CFR 351.218(f)(4).

2016.1 On July 31, 2017, the Department 

received a timely request from 

Zekelman Industries (the petitioner) to 

conduct an administrative review of this

and in accordance with section 751(a) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act), on September 13, 2017, the 

Department published in the Federal 

Register a notice of initiation of an 

administrative review of the CVD order 

on CWP covering the period of January 

1, 2016, through December 31, 2016, 

with respect to 20 individually-named

an administrative review. On September 

29, 2017, the petitioner withdrew its 

request for an administrative review.4

Rescission of Administrative Review 

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), the

timely withdrew its request for an 

administrative review by the 90-day

withdrawal from warehouse, for 

consumption, in accordance with 19 

CFR 351.212(c)(1)(i). The Department
