SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On December 21, 2020, Commerce published the Preliminary Results.^[1]

In December 2020 and January 2021, Commerce received comments on the Preliminary Results from Paslode Fasteners (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. (Paslode), a subsidiary of US producer Illinois Tool Works, Inc. (ITW) ^[2] and various separate rate companies and companies that claimed that they had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR.^[3] On January 21, 2021, Mid Continent Steel & Wire, Inc. (the petitioner) ^[4] and Tianjin Zhonglian Metals Ware Co., Ltd. (Zhonglian) ^[5] timely filed case briefs. On January 28, 2021, the petitioner,^[6] Paslode,^[7] and Zhonglian ^[8] timely filed rebuttal briefs, and Pioneer et al., submitted comments.^[9] On April 8, 2021, Commerce extended the deadline for the final results by 179 days after the date of publication of the preliminary results, until June 18, 2021.

Scope of the Order

The products covered by the order are nails from China. For a complete description of the scope of this order, see the Issues and Decision Memorandum.^[10]

Analysis of Comments Received

We addressed all issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs filed by interested parties in the Issues and Decision Memorandum. Attached to this notice, in Appendix I, is a list of the issues which parties raised. The Issues and Decision Memorandum is a public document and is on file electronically via Enforcement and Compliance's Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Centralized Electronic Service System (ACCESS). ACCESS is available to registered users at http://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Issues and Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/​frn/​index.html.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results

Based on a review of the record and comments received from interested parties, and for the reasons explained in the Issues and Decision Memorandum, we are revising the margin calculation for Zhonglian. Accordingly, for these final results, Commerce updated the rate assigned to the non-selected companies, which is based on the rate for Zhonglian. For a discussion of these changes, see the “Changes Since the Preliminary Results” section of the Issues and Decision Memorandum.

Final Determination of No Shipments

In the Preliminary Results, Commerce preliminarily found that ten companies had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR: Dezhou Hualude Hardware Products Co., Ltd.; Hebei Minmetals Co., Ltd.; Nanjing Caiqing Hardware Co., Ltd.; Nanjing Yuechang Hardware Co., Ltd.; Shandong Qingyun Hongyi Hardware Products Co., Ltd.; Shanxi Hairu Trade Co., Ltd.; Shanxi Pioneer Hardware Industrial Co., Ltd.; Tag Fasteners Sdn. Bhd.; Tianjin Jinghai County Hongli Industry & Business Co., Ltd.; and Xi'an Metals & Minerals Import & Export Co., Ltd. Following the publication of the Preliminary Results, we received no comments from interested parties regarding these companies, and no party has submitted record evidence which would call our preliminary no-shipment finding into question. Therefore, for these final results, we continue to find that these ten companies had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR. Consistent with our practice, we will issue appropriate instructions to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP).

Separate Rates

In the Preliminary Results, we determined that nine companies, including the mandatory respondent, met the criteria for separate rate status. We have not received any information since the issuance of the Preliminary Results that provides a basis for reconsidering this preliminary determination. Therefore, Commerce continues to find that these companies are eligible for separate rates for the final results.

Rate for Non-Selected Companies

As noted above, for these final results, the dumping margin for Zhonglian, the sole mandatory respondent, has changed from the Preliminary Results. Accordingly, for the final results, we have assigned Zhonglian's revised margin to the non-selected companies, in accordance with section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act).

China-Wide Entity

In the Preliminary Results, we found that 288 companies for which a review was requested had not established eligibility for a separate rate and, thus, we considered them to be part of the China-wide entity.^[11] With the exception discussed in the Issues and Decision Memorandum (related to Paslode Co., Ltd. and Paslode Fasteners Co., Ltd.),^[12] we have not received any information since the issuance of the Preliminary Results that provides a basis for reconsidering this preliminary determination. Therefore, Commerce continues to find that these companies are part of the China-wide entity.^[13]

Final Results of Administrative Review

The weighted-average dumping margins for the administrative review are as follows:

Exporter/producer	Weighted- average dumping margin
Tianjin Zhonglian Metals Ware Co., Ltd	22.91
Review-Specific Average Rate Applicable to the Following Companies: 14
Qingdao D&L Group Ltd	22.91
SDC International Australia Pty. Ltd	22.91
Shanghai Curvet Hardware Products Co., Ltd	22.91
Shanghai Yueda Nails Industry Co., Ltd., a.k.a. Shanghai Yueda Nails Co., Ltd	22.91
Shanxi Tianli Industries Co., Ltd	22.91
S-Mart (Tianjin) Technology Development Co., Ltd	22.91
Suntec Industries Co., Ltd	22.91
Tianjin Jinchi Metal Products Co., Ltd	22.91

Disclosure

We intend to disclose the calculations performed regarding these final results within five days of the date of publication of this notice to parties in this proceeding in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b).

Assessment Rates

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.212(b), Commerce has determined, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review. Consistent with its recent notice,^[15] Commerce intends to issue appropriate assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after the date of publication of the final results of this review in the Federal Register. If a timely summons is filed at the U.S. Court of International Trade, the assessment instructions will direct CBP not to liquidate relevant entries until the time for parties to file a request for a statutory injunction has expired (i.e., within 90 days of publication).

For Zhonglian, which has a final weighted-average dumping margin that is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.5 percent), we will calculate customer-specific per-unit duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the examined sales to that customer to the total quantity associated with those sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). We will also calculate ad valorem customer-specific assessment rates with which to determine whether the per-unit assessment rates are de minimis. Where a customer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis, we will instruct CBP to liquidate the appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.^[16]

For the non-examined companies granted separate rates, the ad valorem assessment rate will be equal to the rate assigned above in the final results of administrative review. We will instruct CBP to liquidate entries of subject merchandise exported by companies identified as part of the China-wide entity at the China-wide rate.

Pursuant to Commerce's assessment practice, for entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales database submitted by Zhonglian during this review, we will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the China-wide entity rate. Furthermore, where we found that an exporter had no shipments of subject merchandise, any suspended entries that entered under that exporter's case number (i.e., at that exporter's cash deposit rate) will be liquidated at the China-wide entity rate.^[17]

Cash Deposit Requirements

The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final results of this administrative review for all shipments of subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the exporters listed above, the cash deposit rate will be the rate established in the final results of review; (2) for previously investigated or reviewed China and non-China exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the most recently completed segment of this proceeding in which they were reviewed; (3) for all China exporters of subject merchandise which have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the China-wide rate of 118.04 percent; and (4) for all non-China exporters of subject merchandise which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the China exporters that supplied that non-China exporter. We also note that entries produced and exported by Paslode Fasteners (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. are excluded from this order, and are not subject to a cash deposit.^[18] These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

This notice also serves as a final reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during this POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of doubled antidumping duties.

Administrative Protective Orders

This notice also serves as a reminder to parties subject to administrative protective order (APO) of their responsibility concerning the return or destruction of proprietary information disclosed under APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3), which continues to govern business proprietary information in this segment of the proceeding. Timely written notification of the return or destruction of APO materials, or conversion to judicial protective order, is hereby requested. Failure to comply with the regulations and terms of an APO is a violation subject to sanction.

Notification to Interested Parties

We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act.

Dated: June 17, 2021.
