The product covered by this order is collated staples from China. For a complete description of the scope of this order, see the appendix to this notice. Antidumping Duty Order On July 13, 2020, in accordance with section 735(d) of the Act, the ITC notified Commerce of its final determination in this investigation, in which it found that an industry in the United States is materially injured by reason of imports of collated staples from China. Therefore, in accordance with section 735(c)(2) of the Act, Commerce is issuing this antidumping duty order. Because the ITC determined that imports of collated staples from China are materially injuring a U.S. industry, all unliquidated entries of such merchandise from China, entered or withdrawn from warehouse for consumption, are subject to the assessment of antidumping duties. Id. Therefore, in accordance with section 736(a)(1) of the Act, Commerce will direct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess, upon further instruction by Commerce, antidumping duties equal to the amount by which the normal value of the merchandise exceeds the export price (or constructed export price) of the merchandise, for all relevant entries of collated staples from China. With the exception of entries occurring after the expiration of the provisional measures period and before publication of the ITC's final injury determination, as further described below, antidumping duties will be assessed on unliquidated entries of collated staples from China entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption, on or after January 8, 2020, the date of publication of the Preliminary Determination. See Certain Collated Steel Staples from the People's Republic of China: Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair Value, Preliminary Affirmative Determination of Critical Circumstances, Postponement of Final Determination and Extension of Provisional Measures, 85 FR 882 (January 8, 2020) (Preliminary Determination). Critical Circumstances With regard to the ITC's negative critical circumstances determination on imports of collated staples from China, we will instruct CBP to lift suspension and to refund any cash deposits made to secure the payment of estimated antidumping duties with respect to entries of collated staples from China, entered or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after October 10, 2019 (i.e., 90 days prior to the date of publication of the preliminary determination), but before January 8, 2020 (i.e., the date of publication of the preliminary determination for this investigation). Continuation of Suspension of Liquidation Except as noted in the ``Provisional Measures'' section of this notice, in accordance with section 735(c)(1)(B) of the Act, Commerce will instruct CBP to continue to suspend liquidation on all relevant entries of collated staples from China. These instructions suspending liquidation will remain in effect until further notice. Commerce will also instruct CBP to require cash deposits equal to the estimated dumping margins indicated in the tables below, adjusted by the export subsidy offset. Given that the provisional measures period has expired, as explained below, effective on the date of publication in the Federal Register of the notice of the ITC's final affirmative injury determination, CBP must require, at the same time as importers would deposit estimated normal customs duties on this merchandise, a cash deposit equal to the rates noted below. See section 736(a)(3) of the Act. The China-wide entity rate applies to all exporter-producer combinations not specifically listed. Estimated Weighted-Average Dumping Margins The estimated dumping margins are as follows: Estimated Cash deposit weighted- rate (adjusted Producer Exporter average for subsidy dumping margin offsets) (percent) (percent) Tianjin Heston Fasteners Manufacturing Co., Tianjin Hweschun Fasteners 96.15 85.61 Ltd.

China-Wide Entity 122.55 112.01 Provisional Measures Section 733(d) of the Act states that instructions issued pursuant to an affirmative preliminary determination may not remain in effect for more than four months, except where exporters representing a significant proportion of exports of the subject merchandise request Commerce to extend that four-month period to no more than six months. At the request of exporters that account for a significant proportion of collated staples from China, Commerce extended the four-month period to six months in the proceeding. In the underlying investigation, Commerce published the preliminary determination on January 8, 2020. The extended provisional measures period, beginning on the date of publication of the preliminary determination, ended on July 5, 2020.
