Oman Nails: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department on July 19 released the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on steel nails from Oman (A-523-808), calculating an AD rate of 154.33% for Oman Fasteners LLC, as well as an AD rate of 9.1% for 11 other companies under review that were not individually examined. If the agency's finding is continued in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from the 12 total companies under review entered between July 1, 2020, and June 30, 2021, will be assessed antidumping duties at those rates. Any changes to cash deposit rates for these 12 companies would take effect on the publication date of the final results in the Federal Register.

The 11 companies under review not selected for individual examination are: Airlift Trans Oceanic Pvt.

Commerce also found the other three companies under review -- Astrotech Steels Private Ltd., Geekay Wires and Trinity Steel Pvt. Ltd. -- had no shipments during the period of review. If Commerce confirms this finding in its final results, these three companies' AD duty cash deposit rates will not change as a result of this review. Any subject merchandise entered under their AD duty case numbers would be liquidated at the 9.1% all-others rate.
Only the 15 exporters for which an administrative review was requested are covered by this review. Cash deposit rates for all other exporters will not change. Commerce ordered liquidation “as entered” for entries during the period of review from all exporters not under review (ADCVDWeb Message # 1286401).
(The period of review is 07/01/20 - 06/30/21. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
