through April 30, 2014:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                               Weighted-
                                                                average

                                                               (percent)
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dubai Wire FZE..............................................       18.13
Precision Fasteners, L.L.C..................................      184.41
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Assessment Rates

    The Department shall determine, and U.S. Customs and Border 
Protection (CBP) shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries covered by this review. We have continued to rely on facts 
available to establish Dubai Wire's weighted-average dumping margin and 
we have continued to rely on facts available with an adverse inference 
to establish Precision's weighted-average dumping margin in these final 
results. Therefore, we will instruct CBP to apply ad valorem assessment 
rates of 18.13 percent, and 184.41 percent to all entries of subject 
merchandise during the POR which were produced and/or exported by Dubai 
Wire and Precision, respectively.
    We intend to issue instructions to CBP 15 days after publication of 
the final results of this review.

Cash Deposit Requirements

    The following deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication of the notice of final results of administrative review for 
all shipments of certain steel nails from the UAE entered, or withdrawn 
from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of publication as 
provided by section 751(a)(2) of the Act: (1) the cash deposit rate for 
Dubai Wire and Precision will be the rates established in the final 
results of this administrative review; (2) for previously reviewed or 
investigated companies not listed above, the cash deposit rate will 
continue to be the company-specific rate published for the most 
recently completed segment of this proceeding; (3) if the exporter is 
not a firm covered in this review, a prior review, or the original 
investigation but the manufacturer is, the cash deposit rate will be 
the rate established for the manufacturer of the merchandise for the 
most recently completed segment of this proceeding; (4) the cash 
deposit rate for all other manufacturers or exporters will continue to 
be 4.30 percent.\4\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, 
shall remain in effect until further notice.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \4\ The all-others rate established in the Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Notification to Importers

    This notice serves as a final 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 this review period. Failure to comply 
with this requirement could result in the Department'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 disposition of proprietary information disclosed under 
APO in accordance with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely written 
notification of the return or the destruction of APO materials or 
conversion to judicial protective order is hereby requested. Failure to 
comply with the regulations and the terms of an APO is a sanctionable 
violation.
    We are issuing and publishing these final results of administrative 
review in accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i)(1) of the Act.

    Dated: June 2, 2015.
Ronald K. Lorentzen,
Acting Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
