Commerce Clears Omani Steel Nails From Extra Tariffs
Published Date: 7/14/2026
Notice
Summary
The U.S. Department of Commerce reviewed steel nails imported from Oman and found that Oman Fasteners didn’t sell them in the U.S. at unfairly low prices from July 2023 to June 2024. This means no extra duties will be charged for that period. Importers and sellers can now update their records based on this final decision effective July 14, 2026.
Analyzed Economic Effects
5 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 2 costs, 0 mixed.
Oman Fasteners: No Duties for 2023–2024
The Department of Commerce found that Oman Fasteners, LLC did not sell certain steel nails in the U.S. at unfairly low prices for the period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. Because the weighted-average dumping margin for Oman Fasteners is 0.00 percent, no additional antidumping duties will be charged for entries covered by that review; this determination is applicable July 14, 2026.
Entries With Zero Margin Liquidated Without Duties
Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to liquidate entries for which the respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis without regard to antidumping duties, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1) and 19 CFR 351.106(c)(1). This applies to appropriate entries covered by the final results.
File Reimbursement Certificate or Risk Double Duties
Importers must file a certificate regarding reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of relevant entries during the period of review, as required by 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If importers fail to file this certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties.
Cash Deposit Rates for Future Shipments Set
For shipments entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date of these final results (July 14, 2026), the cash deposit rate for companies listed in the final results will equal the established weighted-average dumping margin (Oman Fasteners: 0.00 percent). The all-others rate remains 9.10 percent ad valorem and other company-specific rules described at points (2)–(4) in the notice apply.
Automatic Assessment for Unreviewed Intermediated Entries
Commerce's automatic assessment practice will apply for entries during the period of review that were produced by reviewed companies but sold to intermediaries (resellers, trading companies, exporters) when those intermediaries did not know the merchandise was destined for the United States. In such cases, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if there is no rate for the intermediate company.
