SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Background
On April 3, 2024, Commerce published the Preliminary Results in the Federal Register.1
We invited interested parties to comment on the Preliminary Results; however, no interested
party submitted comments. Accordingly, we made no changes to the Preliminary Results.
Scope of the Order2

See Certain Collated Steel Staples from the People’s Republic of China: Preliminary Determination of No
Shipments and Partial Rescission of Administrative Review; 2022–2023 89 FR 22991 (April 3, 2024) (Preliminary
Results).
2 See Certain Collated Steel Staples from the People’s Republic of China: Antidumping Duty Order, 85 FR 43815
(July 20, 2020) (Order).
The merchandise covered by the scope of this Order is certain collated steel staples.
Certain collated steel staples subject to this investigation are made from steel wire having a
nominal diameter from 0.0355 inch to 0.0830 inch, inclusive, and have a nominal leg length
from 0.25 inch to 3.0 inches, inclusive, and a nominal crown width from 0.187 inch to 1.125
inch, inclusive. Certain collated steel staples may be manufactured from any type of steel, and
are included in the scope of this Order regardless of whether they are uncoated or coated, and
regardless of the type or number of coatings, including but not limited to coatings to inhibit
corrosion.
Certain collated steel staples may be collated using any material or combination of
materials, including but not limited to adhesive, glue, and adhesive film or adhesive or paper
tape.
Certain collated steel staples are generally made to American Society for Testing and
Materials (ASTM) specification ASTM F1667-18a, but can also be made to other specifications.
Excluded from the scope of this Order are any carton-closing staples covered by the
scope of the antidumping duty order on Carton-Closing Staples from the People’s Republic of
China. See Carton-Closing Staples from the People’s Republic of China: Antidumping Duty
Order, 83 FR 20792 (May 8, 2018).
Also excluded are collated fasteners commonly referred to as “C-ring hog rings” and “Dring hog rings” produced from stainless or carbon steel wire having a nominal diameter of 0.050
to 0.081 inches, inclusive. C-ring hog rings are fasteners whose legs are not perpendicular to the
crown, but are curved inward resulting in the fastener forming the shape of the letter “C”. D-ring
hog rings are fasteners whose legs are straight but not perpendicular to the crown, instead
intersecting with the crown at an angle ranging from 30 degrees to 75 degrees. The hog rings
subject to the exclusion are collated using glue, adhesive, or tape. The hog rings subject to this
exclusion have either a 90 degree blunt point or 15-75 degree divergent point.
Certain collated steel staples subject to this Order are currently classifiable under

subheading 8305.20.0000 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS).
While the HTSUS subheading and ASTM specification are provided for convenience and for
customs purposes, the written description of the subject merchandise is dispositive.
Final Determination of No Shipments
In the Preliminary Results, Commerce determined that Best Nail/Shaoxing Bohui had no
shipments of certain collated steel staples during the POR, based on Best Nail/Shaoxing Bohui’s
timely submitted no-shipment certification and our analysis of information from U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (CBP). We received no comments with respect to our preliminary
finding. Therefore, for these final results, we continue to determine that Best Nail/Shaoxing
Bohui had no shipments of subject merchandise during the POR.3
Assessment Rates
Commerce shall determine, and CBP shall assess, antidumping duties on all appropriate
entries in accordance with section 751(a)(2)(C) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act),
and 19 CFR 351.212(b). As Commerce continues to find that Best Nail/Shaoxing Bohui did not
have any shipments of subject merchandise during the POR, we will instruct CBP to assess any
suspended entries of subject merchandise associated with Best Nail/Shaoxing Bohui at the
China-wide rate (i.e., 112.01 percent).
Commerce intends to issue assessment instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 days after
the date of publication of these final results of 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 Requirements

See Best Nail/Shaoxing Bohui’s Letter, “Submission of Statement of No Shipment,” dated October 11, 2023; see
also Memoranda, “No Shipment Inquiry for Zhejiang Best Nail Industrial Co., Ltd. and Shaoxing Bohui Import &
Export Co., Ltd. during the period 07/01/2022 through 06/30/2023,” dated November 6, 2023; and “Placing CBP
Entry Documents on the Record,” dated January 19, 2024.
The following cash deposit requirements will be effective for all shipments of subject
merchandise entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after the publication
date of the final results of this administrative review, as provided by section 751(a)(2)(C) of the
Act: (1) Best Nail/Shaoxing Bohui’s cash deposit rate will continue to be its existing rate, 0.0
percent;4 (2) for previously investigated or reviewed Chinese and non-Chinese exporters for
which a review was not requested and that received a separate rate in a prior segment of this
proceeding, the cash deposit rate will continue to be the existing exporter-specific rate published
for the most recently-completed period; (3) for all Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that
have not been found to be entitled to a separate rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate for the
China-wide entity; and (4) for all non-Chinese exporters of subject merchandise that have not
received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the rate applicable to the Chinese exporter
that supplied that non-Chinese exporter. These deposit requirements, when imposed, shall
remain in effect until further notice.
Notification to Importers Regarding the Reimbursement of Duties
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 and/or
countervailing 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 and/or countervailing duties occurred and the subsequent assessment of double
antidumping duties.
Administrative Protective Order
This notice also serves as a final reminder to parties subject to administrative protective
orders (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
