Before PROST, Chief Judge, MOORE and STOLL, Circuit
Judges.
S
TOLL, 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 Simpson Strong-Tie
Company are outside the scope of an antidumping order
imposed on certain steel nails from the People’s Republic of
China. See generally Simpson Strong-Tie Co. v. United
States, 393 F. Supp. 3d 1251 (Ct. Int’l Trade 2019); see also
Notice of Antidumping Duty Order: Certain Steel Nails
from the People’s Republic of China, 73 Fed. Reg. 44,961
(Dep’t of Commerce Aug. 1, 2008). The issues presented 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

1
Though OMG involves a different antidumping or-
der covering certain steel nails from the Socialist Republic
of Vietnam, the relevant scope language of that order is
substantially identical to that of the antidumping order at
issue in this case. Compare Certain Steel Nails from the
Republic of Korea, Malaysia, the Sultanate of Oman,
