They’re also stopping the review for nine other companies. This means some import duties might change soon, affecting businesses and prices starting November 2026. ## Abstract The U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) preliminarily determines that Shanghai Yueda Nails Co., Ltd., (Shanghai Yueda) and Shanghai Yueda Nails (Chuzhou) Ltd. (Chuzhou Yueda) (collectively, Yueda Nails), an exporter of certain steel nails (nails) from the People's Republic of China (China), made sales of subject merchandise at less than normal value (NV) during the period of review (POR), August 1, 2024, through July 31, 2025. In addition, we are rescinding the review with respect to nine companies. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results of review. ## Effects PRIA read - Preliminary 9.27% Duty Finding for Yueda: cost, medium. Commerce preliminarily found that Shanghai Yueda Nails Co., Ltd. and Shanghai Yueda Nails (Chuzhou) Ltd. dumped certain steel nails at a weighted-average margin of 9.27% for the period August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2025. If the final result is not zero or de minimis, importers of Yueda nails may… - Unreported Yueda Entries May Face 118.04% Rate: cost, high. Commerce will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection to liquidate any entries not reported in Yueda Nails' U.S. sales database at the China-wide rate of 118.04 percent. That means unreported Yueda shipments during the review period could be assessed at 118.04%. - Rescission for Nine Companies; Duties to Be Assessed: cost, low. Commerce is rescinding the administrative review for nine named companies because there were no suspended entries during August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2025; Commerce will instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on appropriate entries for those companies at the cash deposit rate required at the… - How Final Cash Deposit Rates Will Apply: cost, medium. When the final results are published, cash deposit requirements for shipments entered on or after that publication date will be: (1) the rate established in the final results for the listed company with a separate rate; (2) existing exporter-specific cash deposit rates for previously reviewed expor… - File Reimbursement Certificate or Risk Double Duties: cost, high. Importers must file a certificate about reimbursement of antidumping duties before liquidation of relevant entries for this period, under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2). If an importer fails to file the certificate, Commerce may presume reimbursement occurred and assess double antidumping duties. - Timing of Liquidation and Possible 90-Day Hold: mixed, low. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, Commerce's assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for filing a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication). Also, Commerce intends to iss… ## Related documents - [2025-05481](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2025-05481): Regulations Enhancing the Administration of the Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Trade Remedy Laws; Correction, 2025-03-31 - [2026-22527](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-22527): Utility Scale Wind Towers From India: Final Results of the Expedited First Sunset Review of the Countervailing Duty Order, 2026-11-04 - [2026-22529](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-22529): Certain Magnesia Carbon Bricks From the People's Republic of China: Final Results of the Expedited Third Sunset Review of the Countervailin…, 2026-11-04 - [2026-22530](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-22530): Utility Scale Wind Towers From India, Malaysia, and Spain: Final Results of the Expedited First Sunset Reviews of the Antidumping Duty Orde…, 2026-11-04 - [2026-22524](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-22524): Certain Metal Lockers and Parts Thereof From the People's Republic of China: Final Results of the Expedited First Sunset Review of the Anti…, 2026-11-04 - [2026-22531](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-22531): Certain Oil Country Tubular Goods From Austria: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less-Than-Fair-Value, Postponement of Fin…, 2026-11-04 ## Sources - [2026-22526 on federalregister.gov](https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2026/11/04/2026-22526/certain-steel-nails-from-the-peoples-republic-of-china-preliminary-results-and-rescission-in-part-of) - [2026-22526 as published (PDF)](https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2026-11-04/pdf/2026-22526.pdf) ## Related - [Previous: 2026-22525, Ripe Olives From Spain: Preliminary Results and Partial Rescission of Counterva…](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-22525) - [Next: 2026-22527, Utility Scale Wind Towers From India: Final Results of the Expedited First Suns…](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-22527) - [All Federal Register documents](https://policyrisk.com/federal-register) Source: PRIA, https://policyrisk.com/federal-register/2026-22526 (as of 2026-11-04).
