The United States has published its second review of steel nails.

The US Department of Commerce published, on 3 September 2026, a notice in the Federal Register under document number 2026-18088, entitled Certain Steel Nails from the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, the Sultanate of Oman, Taiwan, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam . The notice sets out the final results of the second expedited five-year review of anti-dumping duty orders applicable to certain steel nails .

The Department of Commerce concludes that revocation of these orders would be likely to lead to the continuation or recurrence of dumping . This conclusion appears in the final results published under reference 2026-18088 .

The document available in the file identifies the publication by its number, date and title, but does not reproduce its full text . The Federal Register page refers to an automated-access restriction and a CAPTCHA procedure . In the accessible extract, it does not provide the detailed operative provisions of the final results or the grounds relied upon by the Department of Commerce .

The dumping levels referred to in the notice are not reproduced in the accessible file content . The rates or margins associated with the orders therefore cannot be established from the available extract . The extract also does not reproduce the full references of the orders, the dates on which they were originally imposed, or information on responses received during the review .

The notice remains listed on the Federal Register website under number 2026-18088 and the date of 3 September 2026 .

Five origins and investigation references

The review covers five origins: the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, the Sultanate of Oman, Taiwan and Vietnam . The title of the United States International Trade Commission, or USITC, page on the adequacy vote lists Malaysia, Oman, South Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam under the designation “Certain Steel Nails” .

On 4 August 2026, the USITC entered in its calendar a “Commissioner Adequacy Vote - NOTATIONAL” concerning certain steel nails from those five origins . The page describes the event as an “Adequacy Vote” and links it to the second review, identified as “Review 2” .

The investigation references displayed by the USITC are 701-TA-521 and 731-TA-1252-1255, as well as 731-TA-1257 . The USITC presents these references in a single line: “Inv. No. 701-TA-521 and 731-TA-1252-1255 and 1257 (Review 2)” .

For further information, the calendar page links to the USITC section covering review adequacy determinations . It also states that voting details are usually published before the end of the business day .

The accessible USITC document reproduces neither the individual result of the commissioners’ vote nor a country-by-country breakdown of the investigation references listed in its title .

Information unavailable in the file

In the file provided, the accessible FederalRegister.gov page does not display the body of the steel-nails notice, but rather a message indicating an access restriction . The website states that programmatic access to FederalRegister.gov and eCFR.gov is limited because of “aggressive automated scraping” and refers users to its application programming interface documentation . The message also provides for a CAPTCHA check to access the page .

The accessible content therefore does not include the full text of the notice published in the Federal Register, its reasoning, operative provisions or any annexes . The margins or dumping levels referred to in the final results do not appear in the available extract . The tariff classifications covered are likewise not reproduced .

No Harmonised System code or HTS code is provided in the accessible content of the FederalRegister.gov page . The United States International Trade Commission, or USITC, calendar page likewise provides no HTS code in its displayed content .

For details of the adequacy vote, the USITC calendar page links to the “Commission Adequacy Determinations” page . The accessible content of that calendar page states that voting details are usually published before the end of the business day, without reproducing the voting information in the extract provided . The accessible sources in the file provide neither voting details, tariff classifications nor dumping levels associated with the final results .
