SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    On July 13, 2015, Commerce published the antidumping duty order on 
nails from Taiwan.\1\ On July 1, 2023, Commerce published a notice of 
opportunity to request an administrative review of the Order for the 
POR.\2\ On July 26, 2023, Mid Continent Steel & Wire Inc. (Mid 
Continent) filed a timely request for review with respect to 172 
companies.\3\ On July 27, 2023, Your Standing International Inc. (Your 
Standing) individually timely requested a review of its own entries 
during the POR.\4\ Pursuant to these requests, on September 11, 2023, 
Commerce published the Initiation Notice in the Federal Register.\5\

    In the Initiation Notice, Commerce indicated that, in the event 
that it limited the respondents for individual examination in 
accordance with section 777A(c)(2) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as 
amended (the Act), Commerce intended to select respondents for 
individual examination based on U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
(CBP) data.\6\ On September 14, 2023, Commerce released CBP entry data 
to interested parties and provided interested parties the opportunity 
to comment on the CBP data and respondent selection.\7\ No interested 
parties filed comments regarding the CBP data or respondent selection.

    On October 10, 2023, Team Builder Enterprise, Ltd. (Team Builder) 
\10\ and Wiresmith \11\ both filed certified ``statements of no 
sales,'' claiming that they are resellers and that their respective 
unaffiliated suppliers of subject merchandise all have knowledge of 
final destination to the United States, and thus, these companies fall 
under the reseller policy \12\ and have no sales for examination by 
Commerce. On October 31, 2023, Mid Continent submitted comments on Team 
Builder's statement of no sales.\13\

as Mandatory respondents in this review.\14\ On November 2, 2023, 
Commerce issued AD questionnaire to Hseih Shun and Your Standing.\15\ 
On November 20, 2023, Mid Continent timely withdrew its request for 
administrative review with respect to five producers of subject 
merchandise.\16\ On November 22, 2023, Your Standing timely withdrew 
its request for an administrative review of itself.\17\

Scope of the Order

    The merchandise covered by this Order are certain steel nails from 
Taiwan. The certain steel nails subject to the Order are currently 
classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States 
(HTSUS) subheadings 7317.00.55.02, 7317.00.55.03, 7317.00.55.05, 
7317.00.55.07, 7317.00.55.08, 7317.00.55.11, 7317.00.55.18, 
7317.00.55.19, 7317.00.55.20, 7317.00.55.30, 7317.00.55.40, 
7317.00.55.50, 7317.00.55.60, 7317.00.55.70, 7317.00.55.80, 
7317.00.55.90, 7317.00.65.30, 7317.00.65.60 and 7317.00.75.00. Certain 
steel nails subject to this Order also may be classified under HTSUS 
subheadings 7907.00.60.00, 8206.00.00.00 or other HTSUS subheadings. 
Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and for 
customs purposes, the written product description of the scope of this 
Order is dispositive.

Partial Rescission of Review

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1), Commerce will rescind an 
administrative review, in whole or in part, if the party that requested 
the review withdraws its request within 90 days of the publication of 
the notice of initiation of the requested review. Because all requests 
for administrative review of Team Builder, Your Standing, World Kun, 
Shang Jeng Nail Co. Ltd. (Shang Jeng), and Right Source were withdrawn 
by interested parties within 90 days of the date of publication of the 
Initiation Notice, Commerce is rescinding this review with respect to 
these five companies, in accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(d)(1).
    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.213(d)(3), it is Commerce's practice to 
rescind an administrative review of an antidumping duty order when 
there are no reviewable entries of subject merchandise during the POR 
for which liquidation is suspended.\31\ Normally, upon completion of an 
administrative review, the suspended entries are liquidated at the 
antidumping duty assessment rate calculated for the review period.\32\ 
Therefore, for an administrative review to be conducted, there must be 
at least one reviewable, suspended entry that Commerce can instruct CBP 
to liquidate at the antidumping duty assessment rate calculated for the 
review period.\33\ There were no entries of subject merchandise during 
the POR for 144 companies subject to review.\34\ As a result, on April 
9, 2024, Commerce notified all interested parties of its intent to 
rescind this review, in part, with respect to these 144 companies and 
received no comments.\35\ The administrative review remains active with 
respect to 23 companies.

    \35\ See Memorandum, ``Notice of Intent to Rescind Review, In 
Part,'' dated April 4, 2024. We note that Commerce received no-
shipment certifications from six companies: Astrotech; Jinhai 
Hardware; Region Systems; Region Industries; Region International; 
and Tag Fasteners. To confirm these companies' no-shipment claims, 
Commerce issued a no-shipment inquiry to U.S. CBP and received no 
contradictory information. See Memorandum ``No Shipment Inquiry for 
Multiple Companies During the Period 07/01/2022 through 06/20/
2023,'' dated February 22, 2024.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Preliminary Determination of No Reviewable Sales

    Wiresmith is a reseller of subject merchandise that reported that 
it had no reviewable sales or shipments during the POR. Wiresmith 
provided sales documentation, such as invoices and packing lists from 
its unaffiliated suppliers, as well as accounting records as evidence 
in support of its claims. Additionally, mandatory respondent Concord 
International provided timely responses to Commerce's antidumping duty 
questionnaire and supplemental questionnaires. Concord International 
reported in its questionnaire responses that its unaffiliated supplier 
had knowledge that the nails they produced and sold to it were destined 
for the United States.\36\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \36\ See Concord International's Letter, ``Section A Response'' 
dated February 22, 2024, at 28.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Based on the information provided by Wiresmith and Concord 
International, we preliminarily determine that these two companies were 
not the first parties in the transaction chain to have knowledge that 
the subject merchandise was destined for the United States and, thus, 
Wiresmith and Concord International are not considered the exporters of 
subject merchandise during the POR for purposes of this review. 
Specifically, the record demonstrates that Wiresmith and Concord 
International's respective unaffiliated suppliers had knowledge that 
the nails they produced and sold to the resellers were destined for the 
United States. Thus, we preliminarily determine that Wiresmith and 
Concord International had no reviewable sales of subject merchandise 
during the POR.
    Commerce finds that, based on the clarification in the 2003 
Assessment of Antidumping Duties notice regarding the reseller policy, 
we will not rescind the review in these circumstances but, rather, will 
complete the review with respect to the resellers and issue appropriate 
instructions to CBP after the completion of the review.\37\ 
Specifically, we preliminarily find it appropriate in this case to 
instruct CBP at the completion of the review to liquidate any existing 
entries of subject merchandise produced and exported by the resellers' 
respective unaffiliated

[[Page 57858]]

suppliers at the rate applicable to the unaffiliated producers, or the 
all-others rate if there is no rate for the unaffiliated producers.\38\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Facts Available

    Pursuant to section 776(a)(1) and 776(a)(2)(A)-(C) of the Act, 
Commerce is preliminarily relying upon facts otherwise available to 
assign estimated dumping margins to mandatory respondents Cyuan Hong, 
Hsieh Shun, Qi Ding, and Yeong Ming because all four companies were 
unresponsive to our requests for information, thereby withholding 
necessary information that was requested by Commerce, failing to 
provide the information requested by the specified deadlines in the 
form and manner requested, and significantly impeding the conduct of 
the review. Further, Commerce preliminarily finds that Cyuan Hong, 
Hsieh Shun, Qi Ding, and Yeong Ming failed to cooperate by not acting 
to the best of their ability to comply with requests for information 
and, thus, Commerce is applying an adverse inference in selecting among 
the facts available, in accordance with section 776(b) of the Act. As 
adverse facts available, we are assigning these companies a rate of 
78.17 percent, which is the highest rate applied in any segment of this 
proceeding.\39\

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rate for Non-Examined Companies

    The statute and Commerce's regulations do not address the 
establishment of a weighted-average dumping margin to be determined for 
companies not selected for individual examination when Commerce limits 
its examination in an administrative review pursuant to section 
777A(c)(2) of the Act. Generally, Commerce looks to section 735(c)(5) 
of the Act, which provides instructions for calculating the all-others 
rate in an antidumping duty investigation, for guidance when 
determining the weighted-average dumping margin for companies which 
were not selected for individual examination in an administrative 
review. Under section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act, the all-others rate is 
normally ``an amount equal to the weighted average of the estimated 
weighted average dumping margins established for exporters and 
producers individually investigated, excluding any zero and de minimis 
margins, and any margins determined entirely {on the basis of facts 
available{time} .'' However, pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(B) of the 
Act, ``if the estimated weighted average dumping margins established 
for all exports and producers initially investigated are zero or de 
minimis margins, or are determined entirely {on the basis of facts 
available{time} , {Commerce{time}  may use any reasonable method to 
establish the estimated all-others rate for exporters and producers not 
individually investigated.''
    In this review, the preliminary weighted-average dumping margin for 
Cyuan Hong, Hsieh Shun, Qi Ding, and Yeong Ming is based entirely on 
facts available. Therefore, under 735(c)(5)(B) of the Act, Commerce may 
use any ``reasonable method'' to establish the estimated all-others 
rate. Commerce finds it appropriate and within its statute to assign 
the most recently calculated all-others weighted-average dumping margin 
previously determined during the Nails from Taiwan 2021-2022 
Administrative Review, as Commerce would otherwise be calculating a 
weighted-average dumping margin based entirely on non-cooperative 
exporters.\40\ As such, we are preliminarily assigning the all-others 
rate of 26.28 percent.\41\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \40\ See Albemarle Corp. v. United States, 821 F.3d 1345, 1357 
(Fed. Cir. 2016) (``Second, as the government points out, in the 
Adverse Facts Available (``AFA'') context, where Commerce is allowed 
to consider deterrence as a factor, we have upheld Commerce's use of 
data from a previous administrative review.'')

Preliminary Results

    Commerce preliminarily determines that the following estimated 
weighted-average dumping margin exists for the period, July 1, 2022, 
through June 30, 2023:

Disclosure

    Normally, Commerce discloses to interested parties the calculations 
performed in connection with a preliminary determination within five 
days of any public announcement or, if there is no public announcement, 
within five days of the date of publication of the notice of 
preliminary determination in the Federal Register, in accordance with 
19 CFR 351.224(b). However, because Commerce preliminarily applied 
total adverse facts available to the four companies subject to this 
this review, in accordance with section 776 of the Act, there are no 
calculations to disclose.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \42\ See Appendix II for a list of these companies.

Public Comment

    Pursuant to 19 CFR 351.309(c), interested parties may submit case 
briefs to Commerce no later than 30 days after the date of publication 
of this notice.\43\ Rebuttal briefs, limited to issues raised in the 
case briefs, may be filed no later than five days after the date for 
filing case briefs.\44\ Interested parties who submit case briefs or 
rebuttal briefs in this proceeding must submit: (1) a table of contents 
listing each issue; and (2) a table of authorities.\45\

    As provided under 19 CFR 351.309(c)(2) and (d)(2), in prior 
proceedings we have encouraged interested parties to provide an 
executive summary of their brief that should be limited to five pages 
total, including footnotes. In this review, we instead request that 
interested parties provide at the beginning of their briefs a public, 
executive summary for each issue raised in their briefs. Further, we 
request that interested parties limit their public executive summary of 
each issue

[[Page 57859]]

to no more than 450 words, not including citations. We intend to use 
the executive summaries as the basis of the comment summaries included 
in the issues and decision memorandum that will accompany the final 
determination in this review. We request that interested parties 
include footnotes for relevant citations in the public executive

Assessment Rates

    Upon issuing the final results of this review, Commerce will 
determine, and U.S. CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all 
appropriate entries covered by this review.\49\ With respect to the 
companies for which we have rescinded this review in part, Commerce 
intends to instruct CBP to assess antidumping duties on all appropriate 
entries at rates equal to the cash deposit rate of estimated 
antidumping duties required at the time of entry, or withdrawal from 
warehouse, for consumption, during the POR, in accordance with 19 CFR 
351.212(c)(1)(i).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \49\ See 19 CFR 351.212(b).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Commerce intends to issue 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).

Cash Deposit Instructions

    The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon 
publication in the Federal Register of the notice of final results of 
administrative review for all shipments of nails from Taiwan entered, 
or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the date of 
publication as provided for by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Act: (1) the 
cash deposit rate for Cyuan Hong, Hsieh Shun, Qi Ding, and Yeong Ming 
will be equal to weighted-average dumping margin established in the 
final results of this review; (2) for merchandise exported by a company 
not covered in this review but covered in a prior completed segment of 
the proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the company 
specific rate published in the completed segment for the most recent 
period; (3) if the exporter is not a firm covered in this review or 
another completed segment of this proceeding, but the producer is, then 
the cash deposit rate will be the company-specific rate established for 
the completed segment for the most recent period for the producer of 
the merchandise; and (4) the cash deposit rate for all other producers 
or exporters will continue to be 26.28 percent, the all-others rate 
established in the less-than-fair-value investigation 
investigation.\50\ These cash deposit requirements, when imposed, shall 
remain in effect until further notice.

Final Results of the Review

    Unless the deadline is otherwise extended, Commerce intends to 
issue the final results of this administrative review, including the 
results of its analysis of issues raised by interested parties in the 
written briefs, within 120 days after the date of publication of this 
notice in the Federal Register, pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the 
Act and 19 CFR 351.213(h)(1).

Notification to Importers

    This notice 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 this review period. 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

    We are issuing and publishing these preliminary results in 
accordance with sections 751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act, and 19 CFR 
351.213(h) and 351.221(b)(4).

    Dated: July 10, 2024.

Deputy Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance.
