The period of review (POR) is May 1, 2024, through April 30, 2025.

We invite interested parties to comment on these preliminary results.
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 4 costs, 0 mixed.
Preliminary 1.42% Dumping Margin
Commerce preliminarily found that certain steel nails from the United Arab Emirates were sold below normal value for the period May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025, and preliminarily assigned weighted-average dumping margins of 1.42% to Rich Well Steel Industries LLC and 1.42% to Master Nails and Pins Manufacturing, LLC/Middle East Manufacturing Steel LLC. These preliminary margins can be used to calculate antidumping duties if finalized.
Rescission for 18 Companies (No Entries)
Commerce is rescinding this administrative review in part for 18 companies listed in Appendix II because they had no entries of the subject steel nails during the period May 1, 2024 through April 30, 2025. For those 18 companies, Commerce will 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.
New Cash Deposit Rules for Future Shipments
The notice says cash deposit requirements will apply to shipments of the subject merchandise entered or withdrawn for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results of this administrative review. The cash deposit rate will be the rate established in those final results (but if the rate is less than 0.50% it will be zero), previously established company-specific rates continue for companies not covered by this review, and the all-others rate remains 4.30% for other exporters/manufacturers.
Importer-Specific Duty Assessment Method
If Rich Well's final weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis, Commerce intends to calculate importer-specific assessment rates based on the ratio of total dumping for an importer's examined sales to the total entered value of those sales (or a per-unit rate where entered values are missing). If a rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate entries without regard to antidumping duties.
