Taiwan Nails: Commerce Publishes Negative Prelim Determination

The Commerce Department is issuing a Federal Register notice detailing its negative preliminary determination in the antidumping duty investigation on steel nails from Taiwan (A-583-854) (here). Commerce calculated zero percent AD duty rates for PT Enterprise and Quick Advance, and will not suspend liquidation or collect cash deposits from either company at this time. Commerce also found no illegal subsidization of Taiwanese exporters in a preliminary determination announced in October (see 1410300023). Commerce may still change its mind in the final determination, which is currently due May 13.
