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 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. 1 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.
