within five days after the public
announcement of the final results, in
accordance with section 751(a) of the
Act and 19 CFR 351.224(b).
Assessment Rates
Commerce will determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries in this review, in
accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of
the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions directly to CBP 15 days
after publication of these final results of
review. For Jindal, we will base the
assessment rate for the corresponding
entries on the margin listed above.
For entries of subject merchandise
produced by Jindal or SRF for which it
did not know its merchandise was
destined for the United States, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed
entries at the all-others rate established
in the less-than fair-value (LTFV)
investigation, 5.71 percent,6 if there is
no rate for the intermediate
company(ies) involved in the
transaction.7 Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to
liquidate without regard to antidumping
duties any entries produced and
exported by SRF during the POR.

to importers of their responsibility
under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a
certificate regarding the reimbursement
of antidumping duties prior to
liquidation of the relevant entries

comply with this requirement could
result in the Secretary’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping
duties.
Notifications to Interested Parties
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance
with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely
written notification of the return or
destruction of APO materials or
conversion to judicial protective order is
hereby requested. Failure to comply
with the regulations and terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
Commerce is issuing and publishing
these final results of administrative
review in accordance with sections

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the
comments received, we made certain
changes to the Preliminary Results.
Specifically, Commerce is applying total
adverse facts otherwise available for
Unicatch for these final results, and, in
addition, Commerce has made changes
to the rate assigned to the non-examined
companies. For a full discussion of
these changes, see the Issues and
Decision Memorandum.
Partial Rescission of Review
On December 12, 2016, Mid Continent
Steel & Wire, Inc. (Mid Continent), a
domestic producer and interested party,
timely withdrew its review request for
Yusen Logistics (Taiwan) Ltd.6 Pursuant
to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will
rescind an administrative review, in
whole or in part, if the party that
requested the review withdraws its
request within 90 days of the date of
publication of the notice of initiation of
the requested review.7 For a full
description of the methodology and
rationale underlying our conclusions,
see the Issues and Decisions
Memorandum.
Application of Facts Available and
Adverse Facts Available
We continue to find that Bonuts. and
PT/Pro-Team failed to cooperate to the
best of their ability in responding to
Commerce’s requests for information.
Furthermore, for these final results, we
also find that Unicatch failed to
cooperate to the best of its ability in
responding to Commerce’s requests for
information. Thus, we find that the
application of adverse facts available,
pursuant to section 776(a)–(b) of the
Act, is warranted with respect to
Bonuts, PT/Pro-Team, and Unicatch.
For a full description of the
methodology and rationale underlying
our conclusions, see Issues and Decision
Memorandum.
Rate for Non-Examined Companies
The statute and Commerce’s
regulations do not address the
establishment of a rate to be applied to
companies not selected for examination
when Commerce limits its examination
in an administrative review pursuant to
section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally,
6 See
Petitioner’s December 12, 2016, letter
entitled, ‘‘Certain Nails from Taiwan, Withdrawal of
Request for Administrative Review.’’
7 We inadvertently omitted Yusen Logistics
(Taiwan) Ltd. from the list of companies for which
we rescinded this administrative review in the
Preliminary Results.

Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) of
the Act, which provides instructions for
calculating the all-others rate in a
market economy investigation, for
guidance when calculating the rate for
companies which were not selected for
individual review in an administrative
review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of
the Act, the all-others rate is normally
‘‘an amount equal to the weighted
average of the estimated weighted
average dumping margins established
for exporters and producers
individually investigated, excluding any
zero or de minimis margins, and any
margins determined entirely {on the
basis of facts available}.’’ Section
735(c)(5)(B) of the Act also provides
that, where all rates are zero, de
minimis, or based entirely on facts
available, we may use ‘‘any reasonable
method’’ for assigning the rate to all
other respondents.
In this review, the margins for all
individually examined respondents
were determined entirely on the basis of
facts available. As discussed in further
detail in the Issues and Decision
Memorandum, we have determined
under ‘‘any reasonable method’’ to
apply to companies not selected for
individual examination in this review
the rate determined for all mandatory
respondents. Accordingly, we assign to
the non-selected companies the
dumping margin of 78.17 percent.
Final Results of Review
Commerce determines that the
following margins exist for the period
May 20, 2015 through June 30, 2016:

CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment
rate of 78.17 percent to all entries of

For the companies which were not

Consistent with Commerce’s
assessment practice, for entries of
subject merchandise during the POR
produced by Bonuts, PT/Pro-Team,
Unicatch, or the non-examined
companies for which the producer did
not know that its merchandise was

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on our analysis of the comments received, we made certain
changes to the Preliminary Results. Specifically, Commerce is applying
total adverse facts otherwise available for Unicatch for these final
results, and, in addition, Commerce has made changes to the rate
assigned to the non-examined companies. For a full discussion of these
changes, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Partial Rescission of Review
On December 12, 2016, Mid Continent Steel & Wire, Inc. (Mid
Continent), a domestic producer and interested party, timely withdrew
its review request for Yusen Logistics (Taiwan) Ltd.\6\ Pursuant to 19
CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in
whole or in part, if the party that requested the review withdraws its
request within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of
initiation of the requested review.\7\ For a full description of the
methodology and rationale underlying our conclusions, see the Issues
and Decisions Memorandum.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\6\ See Petitioner's December 12, 2016, letter entitled,
``Certain Nails from Taiwan, Withdrawal of Request for
Administrative Review.''
\7\ We inadvertently omitted Yusen Logistics (Taiwan) Ltd. from
the list of companies for which we rescinded this administrative
review in the Preliminary Results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Application of Facts Available and Adverse Facts Available
We continue to find that Bonuts. and PT/Pro-Team failed to
cooperate to the best of their ability in responding to Commerce's
requests for information. Furthermore, for these final results, we also
find that Unicatch failed to cooperate to the best of its ability in
responding to Commerce's requests for information. Thus, we find that
the application of adverse facts available, pursuant to section 776(a)-
(b) of the Act, is warranted with respect to Bonuts, PT/Pro-Team, and
Unicatch. For a full description of the methodology and rationale
underlying our conclusions, see Issues and Decision Memorandum.
Rate for Non-Examined Companies
The statute and Commerce's regulations do not address the
establishment of a rate to be applied to companies not selected for
examination when Commerce limits its examination in an administrative
review pursuant to section 777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce
looks to section 735(c)(5) of the Act, which provides instructions for
calculating the all-others rate in a market economy investigation, for
guidance when calculating the rate for companies which were not
selected for individual review in an administrative review. Under
section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate is normally ``an
amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated weighted average
dumping margins established for exporters and producers individually
investigated, excluding any zero or de minimis margins, and any margins
determined entirely {on the basis of facts available{time} .'' Section
735(c)(5)(B) of the Act also provides that, where all rates are zero,
de minimis, or based entirely on facts available, we may use ``any
reasonable method'' for assigning the rate to all other respondents.
In this review, the margins for all individually examined
respondents were determined entirely on the basis of facts available.
As discussed in further detail in the Issues and Decision Memorandum,
we have determined under ``any reasonable method'' to apply to
companies not selected for individual examination in this review the
rate determined for all mandatory respondents. Accordingly, we assign
to the non-selected companies the dumping margin of 78.17 percent.
Final Results of Review
Commerce determines that the following margins exist for the period
May 20, 2015 through June 30, 2016:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Margin
Producer/exporter (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bonuts Hardware Logistic Co., Ltd \8\................... 78.17
PT Enterprise, Inc./Pro-Team Coil Nail Enterprise, Inc.. 78.17
Unicatch Industrial Co. Ltd............................. 78.17
Non-examined companies \9\.............................. 78.17
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Assessment
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b),
Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on
all appropriate entries of subject merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review. Commerce intends to issue assessment
instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of publication of the final
[[Page 6165]]
results of this administrative review in the Federal Register. We will
instruct CBP to apply an ad valorem assessment rate of 78.17 percent to
all entries of subject merchandise during the POR which were produced
and/or exported by the companies stated above.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\8\ Commerce initiated a review of Bonuts Hardware Logistic Co.,
Ltd., but has referred to the company as Bonuts Hardware Logistics
Co., LLC and Bonuts Logistics LLC at different times during this
segment of the proceeding, based on the company's submissions.
\9\ The non-examined companies are Hor Liang Industrial Corp.
and Romp Coil Nails Industries Inc.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the companies which were not selected for individual review, we
will assign an assessment rate based on the methodology described in
the ``Rates for Non-Examined Companies'' section, above.
Consistent with Commerce's assessment practice, for entries of
subject merchandise during the POR produced by Bonuts, PT/Pro-Team,
Unicatch, or the non-examined companies for which the producer did not
know that its merchandise was destined for the United States, we will
instruct CBP to liquidate unreviewed entries at the all-others rate if
there is no rate for the intermediate company(ies) involved in the
transaction.\10\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Countervailing Duty Proceedings: Assessment of Antidumping Duties,
68 FR 23954 (May 6, 2003).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all
shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse,
for consumption on or after the publication date of the final results
of this administrative review, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C)
of the Act: (1) The cash deposit rates for the companies listed in
these final results will be equal to the rates established in the final
results of this review; (2) for merchandise exported by producers or
exporters not covered in this review but covered in a prior segment of
this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company-
specific rate published for the most recently completed segment in
which the company was reviewed; (3) if the exporter is not a firm
covered in this review or the original less-than-fair-value (LTFV)
investigation, but the producer is, the cash deposit rate will be the
rate established for the most recently completed segment of this
proceeding for the producer of the subject merchandise; and (4) the
cash deposit rate for all other producers or exporters will continue to
be 2.16 percent,\11\ the all-others rate established in the LTFV
investigation. These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Notification to Importers
This notice serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate
regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation
of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this
requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement
of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Notification to Interested Parties Regarding Administrative Protective
Order
This notice also serves as the only reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the disposition of proprietary information disclosed under
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern
business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding.
Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO
materials or conversion to judicial protective order is hereby
requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and the terms of an
APO is a sanctionable violation.
We are issuing and publishing this notice in accordance with
sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h).
Dated: February 6, 2018.
