PART I.—GENERAL INFORMATION
Background.‐‐This proceeding was instituted in response to a petition filed on March 31, 2017, by North
American Steel & Wire, Inc. /ISM Enterprises, Butler, PA. Antidumping duties may be assessed on the
subject imports as a result of these proceedings if the Commission makes an affirmative determination
of injury, threat, or material retardation, and if the U.S. Department of Commerce (“Commerce”) makes
an affirmative determination of dumping. Questionnaires and other information pertinent to this
proceeding are available at
http://wwwadmin.usitc.gov/investigations/title_7/2017/carton_closing_staples_china/preliminary.htm
Carton closing staples are fastening devices used to secure or close the flaps of corrugated and solid
paperboard cartons and boxes. Carton‐closing staples are manufactured from steel wire and commonly
have a copper‐coating or a zinc (galvanized) coating. Carton‐closing staples manufactured from stainless
steel wire are also covered.
Carton‐closing staples include stick staple products, often referred to as staple strips, and roll staple
products, often referred to as coils. Stick staples are lightly cemented or lacquered together to facilitate
handling and loading into stapling machines. Roll staples are taped together along their crowns.
Carton‐closing staples vary by the size of the wire, the width of the crown, and the length of a leg. The
leg length ranges from 0.45 inch to 1.375 inches and the crown width ranges from 1.125 to 1.375 inches.
The size of the wire used in the production of carton‐closing staples varies from 0.033 to 0.058 inch
(thickness) by 0.072 to 0.096 inch (width). Staples that deviate from these dimensions by 10 percent or
less in any aspect are covered.
Two examples of basic carton‐closing stick staples, although there are others, are the “A” staple and the
“C” staple. The “A” staple has a crown of 1 3/8 inches (35 mm) and the “C” staple has a crown of 1 ¼
inches (32 mm). “A” staples are produced using wire that is 0.037” x 0.092” and are available with legs
that are 5/8 inch, 3/4 inch, or 7/8 inch. “C” staples are produced using wire that is 0.037” x 0.074” and
are available with legs that are 5/8 inch or 3/4 inch. Roll staples are produced in the same sizes and
dimensions.
All carton‐closing staples meeting the physical descriptions in this scope are covered, regardless of
whether they are coated, uncoated, or the type of coating, regardless of whether they are produced
from steel wire or stainless steel wire, and regardless of whether they are imported in stick form or roll
form.
Carton‐closing staples subject to this investigation are currently imported under statistical reporting
numbers 8305.20.0000 and 7317.00.6560 of the Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States
(“HTSUS”). The HTSUS provisions are for convenience and customs purposes; the written description of
the scope is dispositive.
Reporting of information.‐‐ If information is not readily available from your records, provide carefully
prepared estimates. If your firm is completing more than one questionnaire (i.e., a producer, importer,
and/or purchaser questionnaire), you need not respond to duplicated questions.

Confidentiality.‐‐The commercial and financial data furnished in response to this questionnaire that
reveal the individual operations of your firm will be treated as confidential by the Commission to the
extent that such data are not otherwise available to the public and will not be disclosed except as may
be required by law (see 19 U.S.C. § 1677f). Such confidential information will not be published in a
manner that will reveal the individual operations of your firm; however, general characterizations of
numerical business proprietary information (such as discussion of trends) will be treated as confidential
business information only at the request of the submitter for good cause shown.
Verification.‐‐The information submitted in this questionnaire is subject to audit and verification by the
Commission. To facilitate possible verification of data, please keep all files, worksheets, and supporting
documents used in the preparation of the questionnaire response. Please also retain a copy of the final
document that you submit.
Release of information.‐‐The information provided by your firm in response to this questionnaire, as
well as any other business proprietary information submitted by your firm to the Commission in
connection with this proceeding, may become subject to, and released under, the administrative
protective order provisions of the Tariff Act of 1930 (19 U.S.C. § 1677f) and section 207.7 of the
Commission’s Rules of Practice and Procedure (19 CFR § 207.7). This means that certain lawyers and
other authorized individuals may temporarily be given access to the information for use in connection
with this proceeding or other import‐injury proceedings conducted by the Commission on the same or
similar merchandise; those individuals would be subject to severe penalties if the information were
divulged to unauthorized individuals.

III‐9b. Financial data reconciliation.‐‐The calculable line items from question III‐9a (i.e., total net sales
quantities and values, total COGS, gross profit (or loss), total SG&A, and net income (or loss))
have been calculated from the data submitted in the other line items. Do the calculated fields
return the correct data according to your firm's financial records ignoring non‐material
differences that may arise due to rounding?
Yes No‐‐If the calculated fields do not show the correct data, please double check the
feeder data for data entry errors and revise.
Also, check signs accorded to the post operating income line items; the two
expense line items should report positive numbers (i.e., expenses are
positive and incomes or reversals are negative‐‐instances of the latter
should be rare in those lines) while the income line item also in most
instances should have its value be a positive number (i.e., income is positive,
expenses or reversals are negative).
If after reviewing and potentially revising the feeder data your firm has
provided, the differences between your records and the calculated fields
persist please identify and discuss the differences in the space below.
III‐10. Nonrecurring items (charges and gains) included in the subject product financial results.‐‐For
each annual and interim period for which financial results are reported in question III‐9a, please

the specific question III‐9a line item where the nonrecurring items are included, a brief

reflected in question III‐9a; i.e., if an aggregate nonrecurring item has been allocated to question
III‐9a, only the allocated value amount included in question III‐9a should be reported in the

(such as production, sales, or costs) that is consistent with relevant cost allocations in question
III‐9a. Provide data as of the end of your firm’s three most recently completed fiscal years.
Note: Total assets should reflect net assets after any accumulated depreciation and allowances
deducted.
Total assets should be allocated to the subject products if these assets are also related to other
products. Please provide a brief explanation if there are any substantial changes in total asset
value during the period; e.g., due to asset write‐offs, revaluation, and major purchases.
