EAPA Case 7821: VY Industries (Notice of Determination as to Evasion, October 22, 2024)

EAPA Action: Notice of Determination as to Evasion for EAPA Case 7821 – Wire Coated Coil Nails

WASHINGTON— On October 22, 2024, CBP issued the notice of determination as to evasion for EAPA case 7821 based on an allegation filed by Corus Fastening against U.S. importer VY Industries Inc. (“VY Industries”) for evasion of AD order A-570-909 on wire coated coil nails from China. Specifically, record evidence shows that VY Industries entered Chinese-origin wire coated coil nails into the United States that were transshipped through Canada. CBP has determined there is substantial evidence of evasion of AD duties by VY Industries and, therefore, CBP issued a formal notice of determination as to evasion and has taken enforcement actions. 

In light of CBP’s findings, CBP will: 

• Suspend or continue to suspend the entries covered by this investigation until instructed to liquidate these entries. 
• For those entries previously extended in accordance with Interim Measures, rate adjust and change those entries to type 03 and continue suspension until instructed to liquidate those entries. 
• Continue to evaluate VY Industries’ continuous bonds in accordance with CBP’s policies and may require single transaction bonds as appropriate.
