Summary
The U.S. checked if Shanghai Yueda Nails from China sold steel nails in the U.S. for less than fair prices between August 2022 and July 2023. They found that Shanghai Yueda did sell below normal prices, so certain extra duties will apply. This means importers might pay more, and the review for some other companies was canceled.
