Taiwanese Steel Nails Face Duties in Preliminary Dumping Findings
Published Date: 4/3/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that four Taiwanese companies sold steel nails in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from July 2023 to June 2024. They’re also stopping the review for some companies that didn’t sell any nails during this time. This means some importers might face new duties soon, and everyone involved can share their thoughts before the final decision.
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 0 mixed.
78.17% Preliminary Duty Margin Assigned
Commerce preliminarily found that Dar Yu, Liang Chyuan, Tricera, and Your Standing International sold certain steel nails in the U.S. below normal value for the period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024 and assigned each an estimated weighted-average dumping margin of 78.17 percent (preliminary). This preliminary finding was published April 3, 2025.
Cash Deposit Rules and All-Others Rate
Upon publication of the final results, cash deposit rates for shipments of nails from Taiwan entered on or after the final-results publication date will apply: for Dar Yu, Liang Chyuan, Tricera, and YSI the deposit rate will equal the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results (preliminarily 78.17%); for other producers/exporters not covered in this review, existing company-specific rates from prior segments will continue; and the all-others rate remains 2.16%.
Assessment Timing and Reimbursement Certificate Requirement
Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries covered by this review after the final results; Commerce intends to issue assessment or rescission instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after publication of the final results. Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation or Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties. If a timely summons is filed, CBP may be instructed not to liquidate until the statutory injunction period (90 days) has expired.
