[Investigation Nos. 701-TA-626 and 731-TA-1452-1454 (Preliminary)]


Certain Collated Steel Staples From China, Korea, and Taiwan; 
Determinations

    On the basis of the record \1\ developed in the subject 
investigations, the United States International Trade Commission 
(``Commission'') determines, pursuant to the Tariff Act of 1930 (``the 
Act''), that there is a reasonable indication that an industry in the 
United States is materially injured by reason of imports of certain 
collated steel staples (``CCS staples'') from China, provided for in 
subheading 8305.20.00 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United 
States, that are alleged to be sold in the United States at less than 
fair value (``LTFV'') and to be subsidized by the government of 
China.2 3 The Commission further determines that imports of 
CCS staples from Korea and Taiwan that are alleged to be sold in the 
United States at LTFV are negligible pursuant to section 771(24) of the 
Act, and its antidumping duty investigations with regard to CCS staples 
from Korea and Taiwan are thereby terminated pursuant to section 
703(a)(1) of the Act.
