Steel Nails From Five Countries: Commerce Postpones Preliminary CV Duty Determinations

The Commerce Department is postponing until Oct. 27 the due date for its preliminary determinations in the countervailing duty investigations on steel nails from South Korea, Malaysia, Oman, Taiwan and Vietnam (C-580-875, C-557-817, C-523-809, C-583-855, C-552-819). Mid Continent Steel & Wire, the domestic manufacturer that originally requested the investigation, asked for the extension. Once Commerce makes its preliminary determinations, it can suspend liquidation and require cash deposits of estimated CV duties. The preliminary determinations were originally due Aug. 22.
