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

The Commerce Department is postponing until Dec. 17 its preliminary determinations in the antidumping duty investigations on steel nails from South Korea, Malaysia, Oman, Taiwan and Vietnam (A-580-874, A-557-816, A-523-808, A-583-854, and A-552-818). The agency’s preliminary findings were originally due Nov. 5, but Commerce says the domestic company that requested the investigations asked for an extension to allow for more time to review information and request more information if necessary. Cash deposits of estimated AD duties may be required beginning on the date of Commerce’s preliminary determination, and in certain circumstances cash deposit requirements may be made retroactive 90 days before the agency’s preliminary finding.
