Oman Nails: Prelim Results of AD Admin Review

The Commerce Department has released the preliminary results of its antidumping duty administrative review on steel nails from Oman (A-523-808), calculating an AD rate of 0.95% for the sole mandatory respondent Oman Fasteners LLC. If the agency's finding is continued in the final results, importers of subject merchandise from Oman Fasteners entered between July 1, 2023, and June 30, 2024, will be assessed AD at importer-specific rates. Any changes to cash deposit rate for Oman Fasteners would take effect on the publication date of the final results in the Federal Register.

Commerce also found one other company under review -- Gulf Nails LLC -- had all requests for review withdrawn, so it is rescinding the review for this company. Additionally, another 13 companies had no reviewable, suspended entries available for review, so Commerce is rescinding the review for those companies. The AD cash deposit rates will not change for the 13 companies with no shipments as a result of this review. Any subject merchandise entered under their AD case numbers would be liquidated at the 9.1% all-others rate.

The list of the 13 companies, along with Gulf Nails, appears in Appendix II of the notice.

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 # 4263425).

(The period of review is 07/01/23 - 06/30/24. See the notice for additional information, including the scope of the order, potential cash deposit and assessment instructions, etc.)
