Before PROST, Chief Judge, MOORE and STOLL, Circuit
Judges.
STOLL, Circuit Judge.
The Government appeals a decision of the United
States Court of International Trade affirming a remand de-
termination of the United States Department of Commerce
concluding that certain zinc masonry anchors and certain
nylon masonry anchors imported by Midwest Fastener
Corp. are outside the scope of certain antidumping and
countervailing duty orders imposed on certain steel nails
from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. See generally Mid-
west Fastener Corp. v. United States,
389 F. Supp. 3d 1384
(Ct. Int’l Trade 2019); see also Certain Steel Nails from the
Socialist Republic of Vietnam: Countervailing Duty Order,
80 Fed. Reg. 41,006 (Dep’t of Commerce July 14, 2015);
Certain Steel Nails from the Republic of Korea, Malaysia,
the Sultanate of Oman, Taiwan, and the Socialist Republic
of Vietnam: Antidumping Duty Orders, 80 Fed. Reg. 39,994
(Dep’t of Commerce July 13, 2015). The issues in this case
are substantially identical to the issues presented in OMG,
Inc. v. United States, No. 19-2131 (Fed. Cir. Aug. 28, 2020),
issued herewith. For the reasons stated in that opinion, we
affirm the decision of the Court of International Trade.
