See message number 4364304, dated 12/30/2014. This message contained cash deposit rates that were adjusted to reflect the appropriate subsidy offsets determined in the companion countervailing duty investigation (C-552-819) and will be in effect through 03/02/2015, the day prior to the termination of suspension of liquidation in the aforementioned countervailing duty investigation. See message 5062301, dated 03/03/2015.

Accordingly, CBP shall require, for entries of certain steel nails from Vietnam from the exporter or exporter/producer combinations listed below, a cash deposit equal to the antidumping duty margins published in the affirmative preliminary determination (79 FR 78058, 12/29/2015) as shown below:

Note that the deposit rate for the exporter/producer combination A-552-818-002 remains unchanged from that in message number 4364304, dated 12/30/2014.

3. For all other entries of certain steel nails from Vietnam, the following cash deposit instructions apply:

A. For all Vietnamese exporters of certain steel nails from Vietnam which have not received their own rate, the cash deposit rate will be the Vietnam-wide rate.
