The United States International Trade Commission determined that a US industry is materially injured by reason of imports of certain steel nails from China that the US Department of Commerce has determined are sold in the United States at less than fair value.

All six Commissioners voted in the affirmative.

As a result of the Commission's affirmative determination, the Department of Commerce will issue an antidumping duty order on imports of this product from China.

The Commerce Department previously made an affirmative critical circumstance determination with regard to certain imports of this product from China. Therefore, the Commissioners who made an affirmative injury determination are required to determine whether these imports are likely to undermine seriously the remedial effect of the antidumping duty order Commerce will issue. All six Commissioners made negative findings with regard to critical circumstances in this investigation. As a result, the antidumping duty order concerning these imports will not apply to goods that entered the United States from China prior to January 23rd 2008, the date of the Department of Commerce's affirmative preliminary determination.
