Taiwan Steel Nails Face New Duties After Review
Published Date: 6/16/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that two Taiwanese nail makers sold steel nails at unfairly low prices from July 2024 to June 2025. They’re stopping the review for 20 other companies, which means some businesses will face new duties while others won’t. These changes kick in starting June 16, 2026, and could affect prices and trade for everyone involved.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 3 costs, 1 mixed.
78.17% Dumping Rate for Two Taiwanese Makers
Commerce preliminarily assigned a 78.17 percent antidumping margin to Faithful Engineering Products Co., Ltd. and Top Forever Screws Co., Ltd. for sales during the period July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025. If upheld in the final results, importers of subject nails from these two companies will face antidumping duties calculated using that 78.17% rate.
Importers Must Certify Reimbursement or Face Double Duties
Importers are reminded they must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries. Commerce warns that failure to file this certificate could lead to a presumption that reimbursement occurred and to the assessment of double antidumping duties.
Cash Deposit Rules and Thresholds Remain Active
Commerce states that cash deposit requirements will be effective for shipments entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of this review. Company-specific cash deposit rates from the final results will apply (but rates under 0.50 percent are treated as zero), and the all-others rate remains 2.16 percent.
Review Rescinded for 20 Taiwanese Companies
Commerce rescinded the administrative review for 20 named companies (listed in Appendix II) because there were no reviewable, suspended entries from those firms during July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025. For those companies, Commerce intends to instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries at the cash deposit rate required at the time of entry during the period of review.
