Commerce will determine, and CBP
shall assess, antidumping duties on all
appropriate entries of subject
merchandise in accordance with the
final results of this review.
For DSM and Hyundai Steel, we
calculated importer-specific assessment
rates on the basis of the ratio of the total
amount of antidumping duties
calculated for each importer’s examined
sales and the total entered value of the
sales in accordance with 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1).3 For entries of subject
merchandise during the period of
review produced by DSM or Hyundai
Steel for which it did not know its
merchandise was destined for the
United States, we will instruct CBP to
liquidate unreviewed entries at the allothers rate if there is no rate for the
intermediate company(ies) involved in
the transaction. We intend to issue
liquidation instructions to CBP 15 days
after publication of the final results of
these reviews.

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 review period. Failure to
comply with this requirement could
result in the Secretary’s presumption
that reimbursement of antidumping
duties occurred and the subsequent
assessment of double antidumping
duties.
Notification Regarding Administrative
Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a 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). 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 violation subject to sanction.
This notice is published in
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and
777(i)(1) of the Act and 19 CFR
351.221(b)(5).

of services delivered by the U.S.
Government to U.S. environmental
exporters through enhancements to
digital tools aimed at improving lead

metrics and tracking. The
recommendations were developed by
the ETTAC’s three subcommittees:
Trade Promotion and Export Market
Development, Professional Services and
Infrastructure Advancement, and Trade

SUMMARY: On June 19, 2018, the United
States Court of International Trade
(Court) issued its final judgment in
Xi’an Metals & Minerals Import &
Export Co., Ltd. v. United States,
Consol. Court No. 15–00109, sustaining,
in part, and vacating, in part, the U.S.
Department of Commerce’s (Commerce)
final remand results in the fifth
administrative review of certain steel
nails from the People’s Republic of
China (China). Commerce is notifying
the public that the final judgment in this
case is not in harmony with Commerce’s
final results of the administrative
review, covering the period of review
(POR) August 1, 2012, through July 31,
2013, and that Commerce is amending
the final results with respect to the
dumping margin assigned to The
Stanley Works (Langfang) Fastening
Systems Co., Ltd. (Stanley). The margin
for Xi’an Metals & Minerals Import &
Export Co., Ltd. (Xi’an Metals) remains
unchanged as a result of the Court’s
final judgment.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background
On April 8, 2015, Commerce issued
the Final Results, in which it
determined weighted-average dumping
margins of 13.19 percent for Stanley and
72.52 percent Xi’an Metals.1 On
September 6, 2017, the Court remanded
to Commerce certain aspects of the Final
Results, ordering Commerce to
reconsider, in relevant part: (1) The
potential double counting of certain

Republic of China: Final Results of Antidumping

Decision Memorandum (Final Results).

labor costs by including line items such
as ‘‘Salary & Bonus,’’ ‘‘Welfare,’’ and
‘‘Social Security and Compensation’’ as
selling, general, and administrative
(SG&A) expenses in the surrogate
financial ratios; 2 and (2) the presence of
a transcription error in Stanley’s postverification factors of production (FOP)
database.3
On December 21, 2017, Commerce
filed the AR5 Remand Redetermination
with the Court.4 Under respectful
protest, Commerce recalculated the
surrogate financial ratios by
reclassifying certain labor-related line
items from the selling, general, and
administrative expenses numerator, to
the materials, labor, and energy
denominator of the financial ratios.5
Additionally, under respectful protest,
Commerce corrected the transcription
error present in Stanley’s postverification FOP database.6 As a result
of these modifications, there were
changes to the dumping margins
assigned to both Xi’an Metals and
Stanley. The resulting antidumping
margins for Xi’an Metals and Stanley
were 64.27 percent and 8.04 percent,
respectively.7
On June 19, 2018, the Court sustained
the AR5 Remand Redetermination with
respect to the correction of the
transcription error in Stanley’s FOP
database.8 In addition, the Court vacated
the remand order with respect to the
issue of the calculation of the surrogate
financial ratios, and reinstated this
aspect of Commerce’s Final Results.9 In
light of the Court’s Final Judgment, the
dumping margin for Xi’an Metals is
unchanged from its dumping margin
assigned in the Final Results.
Additionally, because the Court
reinstated the Final Results with respect
to the calculation of the surrogate
financial ratios, for these amended final
results, we recalculated Stanley’s
dumping margin to reflect only the
correction of the transcription error in
Stanley’s FOP database.10
