Results of the First Antidumping Duty Administrative Review
AGENCY: Import Administration, International Trade Administration,
Department of Commerce.
SUMMARY: On September 15, 2010, the Department of Commerce
(``Department'') published the Preliminary Results of the first
administrative review of the antidumping duty order on certain steel
nails (``steel nails'') from the People's Republic of China
(``PRC'').\1\ We gave interested parties an opportunity to comment on
the Preliminary Results. Based upon our analysis of the comments and
information received, we made changes to the margin calculations for
the final results of this review. The final weighted-average margins
are listed below in the ``Final Results of the Review'' section of this
notice. The
[[Page 16380]]
period of review (``POR'') is January 23, 2008, through July 31, 2009.

Case History
On September 15, 2010, the Department published the Preliminary
Results of this administrative review. On October 7, 2010, we sent a
supplemental questionnaire to separate-rate respondent Yitian Nanjing
Hardware Co., Ltd. (``Yitian Nanjing''). On October 12, 2010, one of
the individually-reviewed respondents who had received a calculated
rate at the Preliminary Results, Shandong Minmetal Co., Ltd.
(``Shandong Minmetal''), informed the Department that it would not
participate in verification and withdrew from the administrative
review. On October 20, 2010, we confirmed with counsel for Yitian
Nanjing that a response to the Department's supplemental questionnaire
was not filed by the stipulated deadline. On October 21, 2010,
following the decision in Dorbest,\2\ the Department placed wage rate
data on the record for comment.\3\ The Department conducted
verification of: (1) Tianjin Jinchi Metal Products Co., Ltd. (``Tianjin
Jinchi'') on November 12, 2010; (2) Stanley's \4\ PRC offices and
factory from November 15, 2010, through November 17, 2010; (3) a wire-
drawing subcontractor for Stanley from November 18, 2010, through
November 19, 2010; and (4) Stanley's U.S. office from December 14,
2010, through December 16, 2010. We invited interested parties to
comment on the Preliminary Results. Between November 3, 2010, and
January 25, 2011, we received case and rebuttal briefs from
Petitioner,\5\ one individually-reviewed respondent, Stanley, and other
interested parties \6\ in this administrative review.

Changes Since the Preliminary Results
Based on a review of the record, verification, as well as comments
received from parties regarding our Preliminary Results, we have made
certain changes to the margin calculations. Specifically, we have
updated the calculation for labor and several surrogate values used in
the Preliminary Results.\10\ We also revised our labor wage rate
methodology. See the ``Wage Rate Methodology'' section below. For all
changes to the calculations, see the I&D Memo and company-specific
analysis memoranda. For changes to the surrogate values, see
``Memorandum to the File, through Alex Villanueva, Program Manager, AC/
CVD Operations, Office 9, from Emeka Chukwudebe, case analyst, AD/CVD

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Scope of the Order
The merchandise covered by the order includes certain steel nails
having a shaft length up to 12 inches. Certain steel nails include, but
are not limited to, nails made of round wire and nails
[[Page 16381]]
that are cut. Certain steel nails may be of one piece construction or
constructed of two or more pieces. Certain steel nails may be produced
from any type of steel, and have a variety of finishes, heads, shanks,
point types, shaft lengths and shaft diameters. Finishes include, but
are not limited to, coating in vinyl, zinc (galvanized, whether by
electroplating or hot-dipping one or more times), phosphate cement, and
paint. Head styles include, but are not limited to, flat, projection,
cupped, oval, brad, headless, double, countersunk, and sinker. Shank
styles include, but are not limited to, smooth, barbed, screw threaded,
ring shank and fluted shank styles. Screw-threaded nails subject to
this proceeding are driven using direct force and not by turning the
fastener using a tool that engages with the head. Point styles include,
but are not limited to, diamond, blunt, needle, chisel and no point.
Finished nails may be sold in bulk, or they may be collated into strips
or coils using materials such as plastic, paper, or wire. Certain steel
nails subject to this proceeding are currently classified under the
Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (``HTSUS'') subheadings
7317.00.55, 7317.00.65 and 7317.00.75.
Excluded from the scope of this proceeding are roofing nails of all
lengths and diameter, whether collated or in bulk, and whether or not
galvanized. Steel roofing nails are specifically enumerated and
identified in ASTM Standard F 1667 (2005 revision) as Type I, Style 20
nails. Also excluded from the scope of this proceeding are corrugated
nails. A corrugated nail is made of a small strip of corrugated steel
with sharp points on one side. Also excluded from the scope of this
proceeding are fasteners suitable for use in powder-actuated hand
tools, not threaded and threaded, which are currently classified under
HTSUS 7317.00.20 and 7317.00.30. Also excluded from the scope of this
proceeding are thumb tacks, which are currently classified under HTSUS
7317.00.10.00. Also excluded from the scope of this proceeding are
certain brads and finish nails that are equal to or less than 0.0720
inches in shank diameter, round or rectangular in cross section,
between 0.375 inches and 2.5 inches in length, and that are collated
with adhesive or polyester film tape backed with a heat seal adhesive.
Also excluded from the scope of this proceeding are fasteners having a
case hardness greater than or equal to 50 HRC, a carbon content greater
than or equal to 0.5 percent, a round head, a secondary reduced-
diameter raised head section, a centered shank, and a smooth
symmetrical point, suitable for use in gas-actuated hand tools.
While the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and
customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this
proceeding is dispositive.
Non-Market Economy Treatment
The Department considers the PRC to be a non-market economy
(``NME'') country.\11\ In accordance with section 771(18)(C)(i) of the
Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (``Act''), any determination that a
foreign country is an NME country shall remain in effect until revoked
by the administering authority. No party has challenged the designation
of the PRC as an NME country in this review. Therefore, the Department
continues to treat the PRC as an NME country for purposes of these
final results.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\11\ See, e.g., Preliminary Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value and Postponement of Final Determination: Coated Free
Sheet Paper From the People's Republic of China, 72 FR 30758, 30760
(June 4, 2007), unchanged in Final Determination of Sales at Less
Than Fair Value: Coated Free Sheet Paper From the People's Republic
of China, 72 FR 60632 (October 25, 2007).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Surrogate Country
In the Preliminary Results, the Department stated that it selected
India as the appropriate surrogate country to use in this
administrative review for the following reasons: (1) It is a
significant producer of comparable merchandise; (2) it is at a similar
level of economic development pursuant to section 773(c)(4) of the Act;
and (3) the Department has reliable data from India that it can use to
value the factors of production. As no party submitted additional
comments challenging our selection of the primary surrogate country, we
are continuing to use India as the surrogate country for the final
results of this administrative review.
Wage Rate Methodology
Pursuant to Dorbest, we have calculated a revised hourly wage rate
to use in valuing Stanley's reported labor. The revised wage rate is
calculated by averaging earnings and/or wages in countries that are
economically comparable to the PRC and that are significant producers
of comparable merchandise, pursuant to section 773 of the Act. See I&D
Memo at Comment 2.
Separate Rates
In proceedings involving NME countries, the Department holds a
rebuttable presumption that all companies within the country are
subject to government control and, thus, should be assessed a single
antidumping duty rate. It is the Department's policy to assign all
exporters of subject merchandise in an NME country this single rate
unless an exporter can demonstrate that it is sufficiently independent
so as to be entitled to a separate rate.\12\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\12\ See Notice of Final Determination of Sales at Less Than
Fair Value: Sparklers From the People's Republic of China, 56 FR
20588 (May 6, 1991), as further developed in Notice of Final
Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value: Silicon Carbide From
the People's Republic of China, 59 FR 22585 (May 2, 1994).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Preliminary Results, we determined that in addition to the
mandatory respondents, Stanley and Shandong Minmetal, the Separate-Rate
Applicants also met the criteria for separate rate status.\13\ Since
the publication of the Preliminary Results, Shandong Minmetal withdrew
from the review. Therefore, the Department has, as adverse facts
available (``AFA''), treated Shandong Minmetal as part of the PRC-wide
entity.\14\ Moreover, we note that the information that Shangdong
Minmetal provided to the Department to demonstrate the absence of de
facto and de jure control could not be verified due to its failure to
cooperate. Consequently we have not granted Shandong Minmetal a
separate rate.\15\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\13\ Those companies are: (1) Aironware (Shanghai) Co., Ltd.;
(2) Chiieh Yung Metal Ind. Corp.; (3) China Staple Enterprise
(Tianjin) Co., Ltd.; (4) Dezhou Hualude Hardware Products Co., Ltd.;
(5) Faithful Engineering Products Co., Ltd.; (6) Hengshui Mingyao
Hardware & Mesh Products Co., Ltd.; (7) Huanghua Jinhai Hardware

Zhonglian Metals Ware Co., Ltd.; (21) Wintime Import & Export
Corporation Limited of Zhongshan; and (22) Zhejiang Gem-Chun
Hardware Accessory Co., Ltd. (collectively, ``Separate-Rate
Applicants'').
\14\ See section 735(c)(5)(A) of the Act.
\15\ See I&D Memo at Comment 13.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The separate rate is determined based on the estimated weighted-
average antidumping margins established for exporters and producers
individually investigated, excluding zero and de minimis margins or
margins based entirely on AFA.\16\ In this administrative review, one
mandatory respondent, Stanley, has an estimated weighted-average
antidumping margin which is above de minimis and which is not based on
total AFA. Therefore, because there is only one relevant weighted-
average antidumping margin for these final results, we have assigned
[[Page 16382]]
Stanley's margin, which is 13.90 percent, to the separate-rate
companies.\17\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Republic of China: Final Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair
Value, 73 FR 47587, 47591 (August 14, 2008).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRC-Wide Entity
In the Preliminary Results, the Department determined that certain
PRC exporters subject to this review failed to recertify their separate
rates using the separate rate certification provided at the
Department's Web site at http://ia.ita.doc.gov/nme/nme-sep-rate.html to
demonstrate their continued eligibility for separate-rate status. Thus,
the Department treated these PRC exporters as part of the PRC-wide
entity. The Department also found that the PRC-wide entity did not
respond to our requests for information.\18\ As the PRC-wide entity did
not provide the Department with requested information, pursuant to
section 776(a)(2)(A) of the Act, we continue to treat such entities as
part of the PRC-wide entity.

Assessment Rates
Upon issuance of the final results, the Department will determine,
and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (``CBP'') shall assess,
antidumping duties on all appropriate entries. The Department intends
to issue assessment instructions to CBP 15 days after the date of
publication of the final results of review, excluding any reported
sales that entered during the gap period.\19\ Pursuant to 19 CFR
351.212(b)(1), we will calculate importer-specific (or customer-
specific) ad valorem duty assessment rates based on the ratio of the
total amount of the dumping margins calculated for the examined sales
to the total entered value of those same sales. In accordance with 19
CFR 351.106(c)(2), we will instruct CBP to liquidate, without regard to
antidumping duties, all entries of subject merchandise during the POR
for which the importer-specific assessment rate is zero or de minimis.
For the companies receiving a separate rate that were not selected for
individual review, we will calculate an assessment rate based on the
simple average of the cash deposit rates calculated for the companies
selected for individual review pursuant to section 735(c)(5)(B) of the
Act.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\19\ The gap period represents the period of time after the
expiration of the 180-day provisional measures period during the
original investigation, to the day prior to the U.S. International
Trade Commission's final determination. In the instant case, the gap
period is July 22, 2008, to July 24, 2008.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cash Deposit Requirements
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective upon
publication of these final results of administrative review for all
shipments of the 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 established in the final
results of this review (except, if the rate is zero or de minimis,
i.e., less than 0.5 percent, no cash deposit will be required for that
company); (2) for previously investigated or reviewed PRC and non-PRC
exporters not listed above that have separate rates, the cash deposit
rate will continue to be the exporter-specific rate published for the
most recent period; (3) for all PRC exporters of subject merchandise
which have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash
deposit rate will be the PRC-wide rate of 118.04 percent; and (4) for
all non-PRC exporters of subject merchandise which have not received
their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to
the PRC exporters that supplied that non-PRC exporter. These deposit
requirements, when imposed, shall remain in effect until further
notice.
Reimbursement of Duties
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 the Department's presumption that
reimbursement of antidumping duties has occurred and the subsequent
assessment of doubled antidumping duties.
