China Collated Staples: Final Results of AD Admin Review
The Commerce Department has released the final results of the antidumping duty administrative review on certain steel staples from China (A-570-112). Commerce said it continued to find that Tianjin Hweschun Fasteners Manufacturing Co., Ltd. (Tianjin Hweschun), the sole mandatory respondent in this review, did not sell subject merchandise at below normal value. As a result, Commerce will not assess AD duties on entries from Taiwan Hweschun during the period July 1, 202, though June 30, 2022. A zero percent cash deposit rate takes effect for Tianjin Hweschun Dec. 7, the date these final results are to be published in the Federal Register.

Commerce found that China Staple (Tianjin) Co., Ltd. (China Staple), Shanghai Yueda Nails Co., Ltd. (Shanghai Yueda), and Shijiazhuang Shuangming Trade Co., Ltd. (Shijiazhuang Shuangming) have not established eligibility for a separate rate and, therefore, are part of the China-wide entity, with an AD rate of 112.01%. Commerce will assess AD at this rate on subject merchandise from China Staple, Shanghai Yueda and Shijiazhuang Shuangming entered July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2022. A 112.01% AD cash deposit rate for the three companies takes effect on Dec. 7.
Commerce also found Zhejiang Best Nail Industrial Co., Ltd. (Best Nail)/Shaoxing Bohui Import & Export Co., Ltd. (Shaoxing Bohui) (collectively, Best Nail/Shaoxing Bohui), Tianjin Jinyifeng Hardware Co., Ltd. (Tianjin Jinyifeng), and Unicorn Fasteners Co., Ltd. (Unicorn Fasteners) made no shipments of subject merchandise from China during the period, so their cash deposit rates currently in effect will not change as a result of this review, and any entries reported to be from any of those companies will be assessed duties at the 112.01% China-wide rate.
For any other exporters of subject merchandise that were not under review (i.e., all exporters of subject merchandise except those listed above), cash deposit rates will remain at the level set in the most recent review of each respective company. For companies that have never been assigned a cash deposit rate by Commerce, the China-wide rate applies.
(The review period is 07/01/21 - 06/30/22. See Commerce's notice for more information, including the scope of the order, detailed cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc. See 2308020044 for a summary of the preliminary results of this administrative review.)
