Commerce found that the AD and CVD orders covered certain carbon steel threaded rod, bar or studs that are "non-headed." It found that Chun Yu's wedge anchors and sleeve anchors both include bolts with conical heads, formed through cold die casting processes that require specialized machinery not used in the production of threaded rod. The agency concluded that the steel bolt is "headed" and is therefore out of the scope of “non-headed” threaded rod, bar or studs.
