Commerce Hammers Duties on Cheap Omani Steel Nails in Trade Review

## Summary

The U.S. Department of Commerce reviewed steel nails from Oman sold between July 2023 and June 2024. They found that Oman Fasteners sold nails at unfairly low prices and are keeping the review on them, but stopped reviewing 14 other companies. This means some companies face new duties soon, while others get a break, starting January 9, 2026.

## Abstract

The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) is conducting an administrative review of the antidumping duty (AD) order on certain steel nails (steel nails) from the Sultanate of Oman (Oman). This review covers 15 exporters and producers from Oman. The period of review (POR) is July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2024. The sole mandatory respondent in this review is Oman Fasteners, LLC (Oman Fasteners). Commerce preliminarily determines that Oman Fasteners made sales of subject merchandise below normal value (NV) during the POR. Additionally, we are rescinding this review, in part, with respect to one company for which all requests for review were withdrawn and with respect to 13 companies, which had no suspended entries. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results.
