Korea Steel Nails Hit With Final U.S. Duties
Published Date: 6/23/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce found that some Korean steel nail makers sold their nails in the U.S. for less than fair value from July 2023 to June 2024. This means certain importers might have to pay extra duties to level the playing field. The final decision took a bit longer but is now official as of June 23, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
File Reimbursement Certificate or Risk Double Duties
If you imported subject merchandise during the review period, you must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries. If you fail to file this certificate as required by 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2), Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
Cash Deposit Rates Effective on Publication
For shipments of the subject steel nails entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after June 23, 2026, you must make cash deposits at rates equal to the weighted-average dumping margins from this review unless the rate is less than 0.50%, in which case the cash deposit rate will be zero. The default all-others cash deposit rate for exporters or manufacturers not covered by this review remains 11.80%.
Dumping Margins Set for Korean Nail Makers
If you import certain steel nails from the Republic of Korea, Commerce found weighted-average dumping margins for the period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024: Je-il Co., Ltd. 1.76%, Korea Wire Co., Ltd. 0.61%, and companies not individually examined 1.13%. These margins are the basis for duties that Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess on appropriate entries.
Assessment Timing and Automatic Assessment Rules
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to assess antidumping duties in accordance with these final results and intends to issue assessment instructions no earlier than 35 days after publication. If a timely summons at the U.S. Court of International Trade is filed, CBP will be directed not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for requesting a statutory injunction has expired (within 90 days of publication). For certain unreviewed entries where the producer did not know the goods were destined for the U.S., Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate those entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company.

Because D&G/Portbec's rate is now above de minimis, subject merchandise produced and exported by D&G/Portbec is included within the CVD order on softwood lumber from Canada.
