     Before PROST, Chief Judge, MOORE and STOLL, Circuit
                           Judges.
 STOLL, Circuit Judge.
      The Government appeals a decision of the United
 States Court of International Trade affirming a remand de-
 termination of the United States Department of Commerce
 concluding that certain zinc masonry anchors and certain
 nylon masonry anchors imported by Midwest Fastener
 Corp. are outside the scope of certain antidumping and
 countervailing duty orders imposed on certain steel nails
 from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. See generally Mid-
 west Fastener Corp. v. United States, 389 F. Supp. 3d 1384
 (Ct. Int’l Trade 2019); see also Certain Steel Nails from the
 Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Countervailing Duty Order,
 80 Fed. Reg. 41,006 (Dep’t of Commerce July 14, 2015);
 Certain Steel Nails from the Republic of Korea, Malaysia,
 the Sultanate of Oman, Taiwan, and the Socialist Republic
 of Vietnam: Antidumping Duty Orders, 80 Fed. Reg. 39,994
 (Dep’t of Commerce July 13, 2015). The issues in this case
 are substantially identical to the issues presented in OMG,
 Inc. v. United States, No. 19-2131 (Fed. Cir. Aug. 28, 2020),
 issued herewith. For the reasons stated in that opinion, we
 affirm the decision of the Court of International Trade.
