SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On October 7, 2019, Commerce published a notice of initiation of an administrative review of the antidumping duty order on nails from China.^[1] This administrative review covers 308 ^[2] companies, including two mandatory respondents: Shandong Oriental Cherry Hardware Group Co., Ltd.; and Tianjin Zhonglian Metals Ware Co., Ltd. (Zhonglian).

On April 24, 2020, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative reviews by 50 days, thereby extending the deadline for these results until June 22, 2020.^[3] On June 15, 2020, Commerce extended the deadline to issue the preliminary results by an additional 117 days.^[4] On July 21, 2020, Commerce tolled all deadlines in administrative reviews by an additional 60 days, extending the deadline for these results until December 15, 2020.^[5]

For a complete description of the events that followed the initiation of this review, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.^[6] A list of topics included in the Preliminary Decision Memorandum is included as Appendix I to this notice. The Preliminary 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 https://access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete version of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum can be accessed directly at http://enforcement.trade.gov/​frn/​. The signed and the electronic versions of the Preliminary Decision Memorandum are identical in content.

Scope of the Order

The products covered by the Order are nails from China. For a full description of the scope, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.^[7]

Partial Rescission of Review

Section 351.213(d)(1) of Commerce's regulations provides that Commerce will rescind an administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested the review withdraws its request for review within 90 days of the date of publication of the notice of initiation of the requested review. Commerce published the Initiation Notice on October 7, 2019.^[8]

On December 30, 2019, Mid Continent Steel & Wire, Inc. (the petitioner) withdrew its request for review of The Stanley Works (Langfang) Fastening Systems Co., Ltd. and Stanley Black & Decker Inc. (collectively, Stanley).^[9] Because the review request for Stanley was timely withdrawn, and because no other party requested a review of Stanley, we are rescinding this review with respect to Stanley.

Preliminary Determination of No Shipments

Ten companies ^[10] that are subject to this review reported that they did not have any shipments of subject merchandise during the POR.^[11] To date, we have not received any information from either U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), or from any other sources, that contradict these companies' no-shipment claims. Accordingly, we preliminarily determine that these companies had no shipments during the POR. For additional information, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum. Consistent with Commerce's practice, we will not rescind this review with respect to these companies but will complete the review and issue appropriate instructions to CBP based on the final results of the review.^[12]

Separate Rates

Commerce preliminary determines that information placed on the record by Qingdao D&L Group Ltd.; SDC International Australia Pty. Ltd.; Shanghai Curvet Hardware Products Co., Ltd.; Shanghai Yueda Nails Industry Co., Ltd., a.k.a. Shanghai Yueda Nails Co., Ltd.; Shanxi Tianli Industries Co., Ltd.; S-Mart (Tianjin) Technology Development Co., Ltd.; Suntec Industries Co., Ltd.; Tianjin Jinchi Metal Products Co., Ltd.; and Zhonglian demonstrated that these entities are entitled to separate rate status. For additional information, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

China-Wide Entity

Commerce's policy regarding conditional review of the China-wide entity applies to this administrative review.^[13] Under this policy, the China-wide entity will not be under review unless a party specifically requests, or Commerce self-initiates, a review of the entity. Because no party requested a review of the China-wide entity in this review, the entity is not under review and the weighted-average dumping margin determined for the China-wide entity (i.e., 118.04 percent) is not subject to change as a result of this review.¹⁴ Aside from the companies that demonstrated eligibility for a separate rate, and certain companies that had no POR shipments of subject merchandise, Commerce considers all other companies for which a review was requested to be part of the China-wide entity. For additional information, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum; see also Appendix II for a list of companies considered to be part of the China-wide entity.

Methodology

Commerce is conducting this review in accordance with section 751(a)(1)(B) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act). We calculated export prices in accordance with section 772 of the Act. Because China is a non-market economy country within the meaning of section 771(18) of the Act, we calculated NV in accordance with section 773(c) of the Act.

For a full description of the methodology underlying our conclusions, see the Preliminary Decision Memorandum.

Preliminary Results of Review

Commerce preliminarily determines that the following weighted-average dumping margins exist for the period August 1, 2018 through July 31, 2019:

Exporter	Weighted- average dumping margin (percent)
Tianjin Zhonglian Metals Ware Co., Ltd	18.31
Review-Specific Average Rate Applicable to the Following Companies:15
Qingdao D&L Group Ltd	18.31
SDC International Australia Pty. Ltd	18.31
Shanghai Curvet Hardware Products Co., Ltd	18.31
Shanghai Yueda Nails Industry Co., Ltd., a.k.a. Shanghai Yueda Nails Co., Ltd	18.31
Shanxi Tianli Industries Co., Ltd	18.31
S-Mart (Tianjin) Technology Development Co., Ltd	18.31
Suntec Industries Co., Ltd	18.31
Tianjin Jinchi Metal Products Co., Ltd	18.31

We preliminarily calculated a rate for Zhonglian, the sole mandatory respondent, which is not zero, de minimis, or based entirely on adverse facts available. Accordingly, we have assigned Zhonglian's margin to the companies which preliminarily rebutted the presumption of government control, but which were not selected for individual examination in this administrative review, consistent with section 735(c)(3)(A) of the Act.

Disclosure and Public Comment

Commerce intends to disclose the calculations performed for these preliminary results to interested parties within five days of the date of publication of this notice, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.224(b). Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), interested parties may submit case briefs no later than 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. Rebuttal briefs, the content of which is limited to issues raised in case briefs, may be filed no later than seven days after the date for filing case briefs.^[16] Parties who submit case briefs or rebuttal briefs in this proceeding are encouraged to submit with each argument: (1) a statement of the issue; (2) a brief summary of the argument; and (3) a table of authorities.^[17] Case and rebuttal briefs should be filed using ACCESS ^[18] and must be served on interested parties.^[19] Executive summaries should be limited to five pages total, including footnotes. Note that Commerce has temporarily modified certain of its requirements for serving documents containing business proprietary information, until further notice.^[20]

Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.310(c), interested parties who wish to request a hearing, limited to issues raised in the case and rebuttal briefs, must submit a request to the Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance, filed electronically via ACCESS. An electronically-filed document must be received successfully in its entirety through Commerce's electronic records system, ACCESS, by 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time within 30 days after the date of publication of this notice. Requests should contain: (1) The party's name, address, and telephone number; (2) the number of participants; and (3) a list of the issues to be discussed. If a request for a hearing is made, Commerce intends to hold the hearing at a time and date to be determined. Parties should confirm by telephone the date, time, and location of the hearing two days before the scheduled date.

Unless otherwise extended, Commerce intends to issue the final results of this administrative review, which will include the results of our analysis of all issues raised in the case briefs, within 120 days of publication of these preliminary results, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Act.

Assessment Rates

Upon issuance of the final results, Commerce will determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate entries covered by this review.^[21] Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the publication date of the final results of this review.

If Zhonglian's weighted-average dumping margin is not zero or de minimis (i.e., less than 0.50 percent) in the final results of this review, Commerce will calculate importer-specific assessment rates on the basis of the ratio of the total amount of dumping calculated for the importer's examined sales to the total entered value of those sales, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.212(b)(1). Where an importer-specific ad valorem rate is not zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to collect the appropriate duties at the time of liquidation.^[22] Where either a respondent's weighted-average dumping margin is zero or de minimis, or an importer-specific ad valorem assessment rate is zero or de minimis, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate appropriate entries without regard to antidumping duties.^[23]

For entries that were not reported in the U.S. sales data submitted by Zhonglian, Commerce will instruct CBP to liquidate such entries at the rate for the China-wide entity.^[24] Additionally, if Commerce determines that an exporter under review had no shipments of the 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 rate for the China-wide entity.^[25]

Cash Deposit Requirements

The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon publication of the final results of this review for shipments of the subject merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication date, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) For the companies listed above that have a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be equal to the weighted-average dumping margin established in the final results of this review (except, if the rate is de minimis, then cash deposit rate will be zero); (2) for previously examined China and non-China exporters not listed above that at the time of entry are eligible for a separate rate based on a prior completed segment of this proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific cash deposit rate; (3) for all China exporters of subject merchandise that have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate at the time of entry, the cash deposit rate will be that for the China-wide entity (i.e., 118.04 percent); and (4) for all non-China exporters of subject merchandise which at the time of entry are not eligible for a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the China exporter that supplied that non-China exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further notice.

Notification to Importers

This notice also serves as a preliminary reminder to importers of their responsibility under 19 CFR 351.402(f)(2) to file a certificate regarding the reimbursement of antidumping duties prior to liquidation of the relevant entries during the POR. Failure to comply with this requirement could result in Commerce's presumption that reimbursement of antidumping duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double antidumping duties.

Notification to Interested Parties

This administrative review and notice are issued and published in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act, and 19 CFR 351.213 and 351.221(b)(4).
