On January 16, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) announced its affirmative preliminary determinations in the antidumping duty investigations of imports of steel nails from China and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The DOC has also made its preliminary decision concerning critical circumstances in both investigations.

The DOC has preliminarily determined that sales of steel nails imported from China and the UAE were made at 20.77-118.04 percent and 4.47 percent less than fair value, respectively.

The DOC's preliminary determinations are as follows:
