2019.2 Commerce exercised its
discretion to toll all deadlines affected
by the partial federal government
closure from December 22, 2018,
through the resumption of operations on
January 28, 2019. If the new deadline
falls on a non-business day, in
accordance with Commerce’s practice,
the deadline will become the next
business day. Accordingly, the deadline
for the final results of this review was
revised to April 17, 2019.3
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order
includes certain steel nails having a
shaft length up to 12 inches. Certain
steel nails subject to the order are
currently classified under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the
United States (HTSUS) subheadings
7317.00.55, 7317.00.65, 7317.00.75, and
7907.00.6000,4 7318.29.0000, and
8206.00.0000.5 While the HTSUS
subheadings are provided for
convenience and customs purposes, the
written description of the scope of the
order, which is contained in the
accompanying Issues and Decision
Memorandum (I&D Memo), is
dispositive.6
Analysis of Comments Received
We addressed all issues raised in the
case and rebuttal briefs by parties to this
review in the I&D Memo. Attached to

Changes Since the Preliminary
Results
Based on a review of the record and
comments received from interested
parties regarding our Preliminary
Results, and for the reasons explained in
the I&D Memo, we revised the margin
calculation for Stanley and Dezhou
Hualude. Accordingly, for the final
results, Commerce updated the sample
rate to be assigned to the non-selected
companies, which is based on an
average of the rates of the three
mandatory respondents, Stanley,
Dezhou Hualude, and Shandong
Dinglong Import & Export Co., Ltd.
(Shandong Dinglong), as discussed in
the I&D Memo. The Surrogate Values
Memorandum contains further
explanation of our changes to the
surrogate values selected for Stanley’s
factors of production.7 For a list of all
issues addressed in these final results,
please refer to Appendix II
accompanying this notice.
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce
determined that nine companies,
Astrotech Steels Pvt. Ltd., Hebei
Minmetals Co. Ltd., Nanjing Caiqing
Hardware Co., Ltd., Najing Toua
Hardware & Tools Co., Ltd., Region
Industries Co., Ltd., Region System Sdn.
Bhd., Shandong Oriental Cherry
Hardware Import & Export Co. Ltd.,
Shandong Qingyun Hongyi Hardware
Co. Ltd., Shanghai Jade Shuttle
Hardware Tools Co. Ltd., did not have
any reviewable transactions during the
POR. Consistent with Commerce’s
assessment practice in non-market
economy (NME) cases, we completed
the review with respect to the abovenamed companies. Based on the
certifications submitted by the
aforementioned companies, and our
analysis of U.S. Customs and Border
7 See Memorandum, ‘‘Eigth Antidumping
Administrative Review of Certain Steel Nails from

the Final Results,’’ dated concurrently with and

Protection (CBP) information, we
continue to determine that these
companies did not have any reviewable
transactions during the POR. As noted
in the ‘‘Assessment Rates’’ section
below, Commerce intends to issue
appropriate instructions to CBP for the
above-named companies based on the
final results of this review.
Separate Rates
In the Preliminary Results, we
determined that 19 companies, in
addition to the three mandatory
respondents, met the criteria for
separate rate status. We have not
received any information since the
issuance of the Preliminary Results that
provides a basis for reconsidering this
preliminary determination. Therefore,
Commerce continues to find that these
companies meet the criteria for a
separate rate for the final results.
Rate for Non-Selected Companies
jbell on DSK30RV082PROD with NOTICES
As noted above, for the final results,
the calculated rates for two of the
mandatory respondents have changed
from the Preliminary Results.
Accordingly, for the final results,
Commerce has updated the sample rate
to be assigned to the non-selected
companies, which is based on an
average of the rates of the three
mandatory respondents, as discussed in
the I&D Memo.

to assess importer-specific assessment
rates based on the resulting per-unit
rates.11 Where an importer- (or
customer-) specific ad valorem or perunit rate is greater than de minimis (i.e.,
0.50 percent), Commerce will instruct
CBP to collect the appropriate duties at
the time of liquidation.12 Where an
importer- (or customer-) specific ad
valorem or per-unit rate is zero or de
minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to
liquidate appropriate entries without
regard to antidumping duties.13 We
intend to instruct CBP to liquidate
entries containing subject merchandise
exported by the China-wide entity at the
China-wide rate.
Pursuant to Commerce’s assessment
practice, for entries that were not
reported in the U.S. sales databases
submitted by companies individually
examined during this review, Commerce
will instruct CBP to liquidate such
entries at the China-wide entity rate.
Additionally, if Commerce determines
that an exporter had no shipments of the
subject merchandise, any suspended
entries that entered under that
exporter’s case number (i.e., at that
exporter’s rate) will be liquidated at the
China-wide entity rate.14

Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final
reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)
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 doubled antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder
to parties subject to administrative
protective order (APO) of their
responsibility concerning the return or
destruction of proprietary information
disclosed under APO in accordance

continues to govern business
proprietary information in this segment

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
violation which is subject to sanction.
We are issuing and publishing these

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On September 11, 2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register
the Preliminary Results of the administrative review of the antidumping
duty order on nails from China.\1\ Commerce conducted verification of
Dezhou Hualade Hardware and Products Co. Ltd. (Dezhou Hualude) and its
producers Tianjin Lingyu Metal Products Co., Ltd. (Tianjin Lingyu) and
Tianjin Yongchang Metal Products Co., Ltd. (Tianjin Yongchang) from
October 29, 2018, through November 8, 2018.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ See Certain Steel Nails from the People's Republic of China:
Preliminary Results of the Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
and Preliminary Determination of No Shipments; 2015-2017, 83 FR
45883 (September 11, 2018) (Preliminary Results).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In accordance with 19 CFR 351.309, we invited parties to comment on
our Preliminary Results. On February 13, 2019, Zhangjiagang Lianfeng
Metals Products Co., Ltd.; Tianjin Jinghai County Hongli Industry &
Business Co., Ltd., Tianjin Jinchi Metal Products Co., Ltd., Tianjin
Zhonglian Metals Ware Co., Ltd., Shanghai Yueda Nails Industry Co.,
Ltd. aka Shanghai Yueda Nails Co., Ltd., and Shanxi Tianli Industries

case briefs. Between February 19, 2019, and February 21, 2019, National
Nail Corp., the petitioner, Dezhou Hualude, and Stanley submitted
timely rebuttal briefs pursuant to our regulations. On February 25,
2018, in response to Commerce's instructions, National Nail Corp. re-
filed its rebuttal brief with untimely new factual information
redacted.
On December 21, 2019, Commerce postponed the deadline for the final
results of this review until March 8, 2019.\2\ Commerce exercised its
discretion to toll all deadlines affected by the partial federal
government closure from December 22, 2018, through the resumption of
operations on January 28, 2019. If the new deadline falls on a non-
business day, in accordance with Commerce's practice, the deadline will
become the next business day. Accordingly, the deadline for the final
results of this review was revised to April 17, 2019.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ See Memorandum, ``Certain Steel Nails from the People's
Republic of China: Extension of Deadline for Final Results of
Antidumping Duty Administrate Review,'' dated December 21, 2018.
\3\ See Memorandum to the Record from Gary Taverman, Deputy
Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations, performing the non-exclusive functions and duties of the
Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, ``Deadlines
Affected by the Partial Shutdown of the Federal Government,'' dated
January 28, 2019. All deadlines in this segment of the proceeding
have been extended by 40 days.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order includes certain steel nails
having a shaft length up to 12 inches. Certain steel nails subject to
the order are currently classified under the Harmonized Tariff Schedule
of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings 7317.00.55, 7317.00.65,
7317.00.75, and 7907.00.6000,\4\ 7318.29.0000, and 8206.00.0000.\5\
While the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs
purposes, the written description of the scope of the order, which is
contained in the accompanying Issues and Decision Memorandum (I&D
Memo), is dispositive.\6\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\4\ Commerce added the Harmonized Tariff Schedule category
7907.00.6000, ``Other articles of zinc: Other,'' to the language of
the Order. See Memorandum to Gary Taverman, Senior Advisor for
Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations, through James C.
Doyle, Director, Office VAntidumping and Countervailing Duty
Operations, regarding ``Certain Steel Nails from the People's
Republic of China: Cobra Anchors Co. Ltd. Final Scope Ruling,''
(September 19, 2013).
\5\ Commerce added the HTS categories 7318.29.000 and
8206.00.0000 per a request by U.S. Customs and Border Protection on
February 24, 2017.
\6\ For a full description of the scope of the Order, see
Memorandum, ``Certain Steel Nails from the People's Republic of
China: Issues and Decision Memorandum for the Final Results of the
Ninth Antidumping Duty Administrative Review'' (April 17, 2019),
which is adopted by this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Analysis of Comments Received
We addressed all issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs by
parties to this review in the I&D Memo. Attached to this notice, in
Appendix II, is a list of the issues which parties raised. The I&D Memo
is a public document and is on file in the Central Records Unit (CRU),
Room B8024 of the main Department of Commerce building, as well as
electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and
Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS).
ACCESS is available to registered users at https://access.trade.gov and
in the CRU. In addition, a complete version of the I&D Memo can be
accessed directly on the internet at https://enforcement.trade.gov/frn/. The signed I&D Memo and the electronic versions of the I&D
Memo are identical in content.
Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record and comments received from
interested parties regarding our Preliminary Results, and for the
reasons explained in the I&D Memo, we revised the margin calculation
for Stanley and Dezhou Hualude. Accordingly, for the final results,
Commerce updated the sample rate to be assigned to the non-selected
companies, which is based on an average of the rates of the three
mandatory respondents, Stanley, Dezhou Hualude, and Shandong Dinglong
Import & Export Co., Ltd. (Shandong Dinglong), as discussed in the I&D
Memo. The Surrogate Values Memorandum contains further explanation of
our changes to the surrogate values selected for Stanley's factors of
production.\7\ For a list of all issues addressed in these final
results, please refer to Appendix II accompanying this notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\7\ See Memorandum, ``Eigth Antidumping Administrative Review of
Certain Steel Nails from the People's Republic of China: Surrogate
Values for the Final Results,'' dated concurrently with and hereby
adopted by this notice (Surrogate Values Memorandum).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that nine
companies, Astrotech Steels Pvt. Ltd., Hebei Minmetals Co. Ltd.,
Nanjing Caiqing Hardware Co., Ltd., Najing Toua Hardware & Tools Co.,
Ltd., Region Industries Co., Ltd., Region System Sdn. Bhd., Shandong
Oriental Cherry Hardware Import & Export Co. Ltd., Shandong Qingyun
Hongyi Hardware Co. Ltd., Shanghai Jade Shuttle Hardware Tools Co.
Ltd., did not have any reviewable transactions during the POR.
Consistent with Commerce's assessment practice in non-market economy
(NME) cases, we completed the review with respect to the above-named
companies. Based on the certifications submitted by the aforementioned
companies, and our analysis of U.S. Customs and Border
[[Page 17136]]
Protection (CBP) information, we continue to determine that these
companies did not have any reviewable transactions during the POR. As
noted in the ``Assessment Rates'' section below, Commerce intends to
issue appropriate instructions to CBP for the above-named companies
based on the final results of this review.
Separate Rates
In the Preliminary Results, we determined that 19 companies, in
addition to the three mandatory respondents, met the criteria for
separate rate status. We have not received any information since the
issuance of the Preliminary Results that provides a basis for
reconsidering this preliminary determination. Therefore, Commerce
continues to find that these companies meet the criteria for a separate
rate for the final results.
Rate for Non-Selected Companies
As noted above, for the final results, the calculated rates for two
of the mandatory respondents have changed from the Preliminary Results.
Accordingly, for the final results, Commerce has updated the sample
rate to be assigned to the non-selected companies, which is based on an
average of the rates of the three mandatory respondents, as discussed
in the I&D Memo.
China-Wide Entity
In the Preliminary Results, we found that 114 companies for which a
review was requested had not established eligibility for a separate
rate and, thus, were considered to be part of the China-wide entity.\8\
We have not received any information since the issuance of the
Preliminary Results that provides a basis for reconsidering this
preliminary determination. Therefore, Commerce continues to find that
these companies will remain a part of the China-wide entity.\9\

Assessment Rates
Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as
amended (the Act), and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce has determined, 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 appropriate assessment instructions
directly to CBP 15 days after publication of the final results of this
administrative review.
Where the respondent reported reliable entered values, we
calculated importer- (or customer-) specific ad valorem rates by
aggregating the dumping margins calculated for all U.S. sales to each
importer (or customer) and dividing this amount by the total entered
value of the sales to each importer (or customer).\10\ Where Commerce
calculated a weighted-average dumping margin by dividing the total
amount of dumping for reviewed sales to that party by the total sales
quantity associated with those transactions, Commerce will direct CBP
to assess importer-specific assessment rates based on the resulting
per-unit rates.\11\ Where an importer- (or customer-) specific ad
valorem or per-unit rate is greater than de minimis (i.e., 0.50
percent), Commerce will instruct CBP to collect the appropriate duties
at the time of liquidation.\12\ Where an importer- (or customer-)
specific ad valorem or per-unit rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce
will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to
antidumping duties.\13\ We intend to instruct CBP to liquidate entries
containing subject merchandise exported by the China-wide entity at the
China-wide rate.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\10\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1).
\11\ Id.
\12\ Id.
\13\ See 19 CFR 351.106(c)(2).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pursuant to Commerce's assessment practice, for entries that were
not reported in the U.S. sales databases submitted by companies
individually examined during this review, Commerce will instruct CBP to
liquidate such entries at the China-wide entity rate. Additionally, if
Commerce determines that an exporter had no shipments of the subject
merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under that exporter's
case number (i.e., at that exporter's rate) will be liquidated at the
China-wide entity rate.\14\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\14\ See Non-Market Economy Antidumping Proceedings: Assessment
of Antidumping Duties, 76 FR 65694 (October 24, 2011).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of the final results of this administrative review for all
shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from
warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as
provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the exporters
listed above, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the
final results of review (except, if the rate is zero or de minimis, a
zero cash deposit rate will be required for that company); (2) for
previously investigated or reviewed China and non-China exporters not
listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will
continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the most recent
period; (3) for all China exporters of subject merchandise which have
not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate
will be the China-Wide rate of 118.04 percent; and (4) for all non-
China exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their
own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the
China
[[Page 17137]]
exporters that supplied that non-China exporter. The deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Disclosure
We intend to disclose the calculations performed regarding these
final results within five days of the date of publication of this
notice to parties in this proceeding in accordance with 19 CFR
351.224(b).
Notification to Importers
This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their
responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) 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 doubled
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Orders
This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to
administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility
concerning the return or destruction 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
terms of an APO is a violation which is subject to sanction.
We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative
review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and
19 CFR 351.221(b)(5).
