Extra duties on Malaysian steel nails after review
Published Date: 4/7/2025
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that certain steel nails from Malaysia were sold for less than fair value between July 2022 and June 2023. This means importers might have to pay extra duties to level the playing field. The final decision takes effect April 7, 2025, impacting businesses involved in importing these nails.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Final dumping margins set for nails
If you import certain steel nails from Malaysia, Commerce determined dumping margins for July 1, 2022–June 30, 2023 and assigned rates that will apply to entries: Region International/Region System 1.28%, Inmax Sdn. Bhd./Inmax Industries 0.74%, and non-selected respondents 1.01%. These final margins are effective April 7, 2025.
File reimbursement certificate or face double duties
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) before liquidation of relevant entries during this review period. If you do not file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and could assess double antidumping duties on those entries.
New cash deposit rules for shipments
Upon publication, for shipments of the subject merchandise entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date, cash deposit rates will equal the company-specific weighted-average dumping margins established in these final results; exporters/producers covered in prior segments keep their prior company-specific rates, and the all-others rate remains 2.66%. These cash deposit requirements take effect on the publication date in the Federal Register.
Timing and threshold for duty assessment
Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries where importer-specific ad valorem rates are at or above the de minimis threshold of 0.5 percent; assessment instructions will be issued no earlier than 35 days after publication. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, CBP will be instructed not to liquidate relevant entries until the 90-day statutory injunction period has passed.
